Wild Things Summary

Wild Things: the perfect friends-to-lovers story of self-discovery by Laura Kay

'A totally gorgeous read' BETH O'LEARY, author of THE FLATSHARE

'Perfectly observed and brilliantly funny, I adored it' EMMA HUGHES

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 romcom for fans of Emily Henry, Bolu Babalola and Beth O'Leary


'Joyous, funny, sexy and romantic. . . real Emily Henry vibes - a triumph!' Kate Sawyer

'Heady, giddy, and outrageously flirty' Lily Lindon

'A joyfully messy story of contemporary queer life' Bethany Rutter

Wild Things Reviews

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 * Beth O'Leary, author of THE NO-SHOW *
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 feels fresh and exciting - a touching and realistic read with wonderful characters. I love Laura's writing * KATIE FFORDE, author of ONE ENCHANTED EVENING *
A gorgeous queer rom-com that will have you laughing out loud * Glamour *
Three novels in and Kay has established herself as one of the bright lights of queer romcom * Marie Claire *
A sparkling, witty read filled with the most down-to-earth, loveable characters. The comedic timing was pitch-perfect too -- Lizzie Damilola Blackburn
Laura 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 *
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 * KATE DAVIES, author of IN AT THE DEEP END *
Wild Things filled my heart all the way up. A hilarious story of queer friendship, queer longing, and queer triumph * TJ Alexander, author of CHEF'S KISS *
Fresh, fun, thoughtful and hopeful, a joyfully messy story of contemporary queer life * Bethany Rutter, author of WELCOME TO YOUR 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 * Lily Lindon, author of DOUBLE BOOKED *
A spirited whirl through the agony and the ecstasy of a queer crush, and the vital friendships that keep us sane * Justin Myers, author of THE FAKE-UP *
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 * Ashley Herring Blake, USA TODAY bestselling author of ASTRID PARKER DOESN'T FAIL *
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 * Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of MAKE YOU MINE THIS CHRISTMAS *
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? *
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! * Harry Nicholas, author of A TRANS MAN WALKS INTO A GAY BAR *
Laura Kay will have you crying with both tears of laughter and happiness * VIP Magazine *
