Summary

Fresh, fun, thoughtful and hopeful , a joyfully messy story of contemporary queer life ― Bethany Rutter, author of WELCOME TO YOUR LIFE A cheeky, queer love story—both platonic and romantic—that explores those years when you feel the openness of your future shrinking, and the relationships that help you survive them.”

A spirited whirl through the agony and the ecstasy of a queer crush, and the vital friendships that keep us sane That is, in broad strokes, the plot. Eleanor, our protagonist, and her three friends jointly buy a house a little ways out from London, on something of a whim. Those friends include Ray, who El has a crush on, Jamie, who works at the same company as Ray and Jamie, and Will, Ray’s flatmate, who had intended to buy the house with his girlfriend until she broke it off with him. A regular little found family! 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 * Emma Hughes, author of NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT * A warmhearted, hilarious queer rom-com about what happens when a group of friends are actually brave enough to live the dream and give up their dreary city apartments to buy a house in the country together. • “Real Emily Henry vibes but gay. Joyous, funny, sexy, and romantic—a triumph!”—Kate Sawyer, award-winning author of The StrandingLaura Kay has taken it to the next level - real Emily Henry vibes but gay. Joyous, funny, sexy and romantic - a triumph! * Kate Sawyer, award-winning author of THE STRANDING * Okay, so I have mixed feelings about this book: At first I was very into it because, you know, it’s queer! —but it was actually bland… Like the romance doesn’t even start until chapter 12 (74%) out of 18 —literally nothing happens between them…. 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 ― Emma Hughes, author of NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT Wild Things is one of my favorite 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.”
