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

O ne 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 ― Beth O'Leary, author of THE NO-SHOW Laura Kay could teach a masterclass on the low-key, wholesome, slightly messy queer rom com. . . . Wild Things is a friends-to-lovers romance, yes, but also a heartwarming exploration of found family. Kay breathes life into the book’s characters, all of whom are flawed and lovable and distinctly themselves. . . . Recommended for fans of droll British humor, readers of In at the Deep End and Queenie, and watchers of Fleabag and Feel Good.” Wild Things feels fresh and exciting - a touching and realistic read with wonderful characters . I love Laura's writing ― KATIE FFORDE, author of ONE ENCHANTED EVENING

Feels like the book is about Eleanor and her three best friends moving into a new house on the countryside and how they settle in, —whilst romance is just a subplot. Kay spins a compelling story about creating queer family and falling in love with your best friend, while keeping a light tone throughout. Readers who want a true romantic comedy and enjoy the distinctly deadpan narrative voices of Dodie Smith’s I Capture the Castle or Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones’s Diary will enjoy Kay’s U.S. debut.” 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 * Lily Lindon, author of DOUBLE BOOKED * At the outset, I thought ‘yay, a slow-burn sapphic romance!�� but after reading over half of the book I realised it was a reeeeally really slow-burn and it felt dull and repetitious, sorry.

I love Laura Kay’s writing.”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 ― Emily Wibberley & Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of DO I KNOW YOU? 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.” Acute queer rom-com that feels like a warm hug. . . . Both compulsively readable and tremendously enjoyable.” Hilarious, tender and romantic . . . with characters you'll wish were real and an ending that will leave you fully uplifted' - CRESSIDA MCLAUGHLIN, author ofThe Staycation
