TWO BEST FRIENDS. ONE HUGE CRUSH. A YEAR THAT COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING. . .

El Evans is stuck in a dead-end job, hopelessly in unrequited love with her best friend, Ray, and in need of a major life change.

After a New Year's resolution to 'Be More Wild', El is soon in possession of one (small) tattoo, one (bad) hangover and memories of one (very disappointing) threesome. . . but she's trying and surely it can only get better?

So when a plan is hatched for El, Ray and their two closest friends - newly heartbroken Will and Instagram darling Jamie - to ditch the big city and move out to a ramshackle house in the middle of the English countryside, El can hardly say no. This is her big chance for a fresh start, the perfect wild thing.

But living in close proximity to the love of your life without letting on isn't as easy as El might think. . .

WILL A YEAR OF WILD THINGS TURN THESE FRIENDS INTO LOVERS?

A must-read romance for fans of Emily Henry, Bolu Babalola and Beth O'Leary

Descriere

When the opportunity of a lifetime arrives, will El be ready to make the leap and embrace her wild side?

Stuck in a dead-end job and hopelessly in unrequited love with her best friend, El needs a major life change. One New Year's resolution to 'Be More Wild' later, and she's committed to doing one wild thing every month for a year. Admittedly, so far it's amounted to one small tattoo, one bad hangover and one very disappointing threesome, but she's trying and surely it can only get better...

So when a plan is hatched for El, Ray and their two closest friends - newly heartbroken Will and Instagram darling Jamie - to ditch the big city and move out to a ramshackle house in the middle of the English countryside, El can hardly say no. This is her big chance for a fresh start, the perfect wild thing.

But living in close proximity to the love of your life without letting on isn't as easy as El might think...

Can best friends ever really become lovers or could the truth ruin life at 'the commune' for ever?

Recenzii

One of my favourite books of 2023. It captures the pleasure/pain of a huge, heartfelt crush, and it also beautifully evokes the warmth of a loving community. I would love to stop by 'the commune' for a cup of tea with them all. A totally gorgeous read
I completely and utterly adored Wild Things. It's perfectly observed, brilliantly funny, full of queer joy and such a timely exploration of what adult life could and should look like now
Wild Things feels fresh and exciting - a touching and realistic read with wonderful characters. I love Laura's writing
A gorgeous queer rom-com that will have you laughing out loud
Three novels in and Kay has established herself as one of the bright lights of queer romcom
A sparkling, witty read filled with the most down-to-earth, loveable characters. The comedic timing was pitch-perfect too
Laura Kay has taken it to the next level - real Emily Henry vibes but gay. Joyous, funny, sexy and romantic - a triumph!
Funny and heartwarming and SO brilliantly evocative of the agony/ecstasy of having an enormous crush. . . Makes you want to move to a house in the country with your best friends
Wild Things filled my heart all the way up. A hilarious story of queer friendship, queer longing, and queer triumph
Fresh, fun, thoughtful and hopeful, a joyfully messy story of contemporary queer life
Heady, giddy, and outrageously flirty, Wild Things is the perfect escapist queer romcom for anyone longing to move to the country with their best friends
A spirited whirl through the agony and the ecstasy of a queer crush, and the vital friendships that keep us sane
Brimming with both hilarity and heartfelt relationships, Wild Things is a delightful romance, complete with DIY home repair, a beautiful queer found family, and backyard hens. I adored El's journey to realizing that only by taking risks can she really get what she wants, in both life... and love
Wild Things really has everything I love in contemporary fiction. A beautiful story of yearning, bravery, different kinds of family . . . my heart was with El the whole time
Deeply felt and wonderfully whimsical, Laura Kay's ode to getting wild is full of will-they-won't-they spark and the resonance of life-changing questions. El and Ray's is the perfect story of leaving everything you know and finding your meant-to-be
Joyful, uplifting, heartfelt and properly laugh-out loud funny. A big-hearted story about the messiness of queer friendships and love. Laura Kay always writes the characters I want to be friends with!
Laura Kay will have you crying with both tears of laughter and happiness
Funny, romantic and heartfelt
An entrancing, delightful book about listening to your inner voice (and its deeper under currents of desire) and choosing the path less trodden, being impulsive, following your dreams and finding yourself out there, wild and energised. Left me smiling and warm, a real treasure of a Queer Rom Com
