Will a year of wild things make these friends into lovers? The perfect will-they-won't-they romance from the author of The Split and Tell Me Everything Overall, I liked this a lot. It has me interested in Kay’s previous work and I will most definitely be reading whatever she puts out next.

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 * However, living in close proximity to the love of her life without revealing her feelings proves to be a challenge. Full of humour, kindness, cake and a cat, this is the novel to turn to in difficult times’ Katie Fforde

Success!

Despite being the DIY challenge of a lifetime, the newly named Lavender House has all the makings of becoming the queer commune of the friends' dreams. (Will has been given a pass as the gang's Token Straight.) But as they start plotting their bright new future and making preparations for a grand housewarming party to thank the surprisingly but wonderfully welcoming community, El is forced to confront her feelings for Ray—the feelings that she’s been desperately trying to keep buried. Is it worth ruining a perfectly good friendship for a chance at love? I will definitely recommend Wild Things to my friends who love cozy and charming fiction novels, and can't wait to include it in some cozy round-ups! Laura Kay is a wonderful writer, and I hope she does get some more books in the US market. 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. El is the disaster bisexual of my dreams, and I fell in love with Ray, Jamie, Will, and Lavender House just like she did. I want to have a glass of wine (or three) with all of them. A hilarious story of queer friendship, queer longing, and queer triumph.” It's sweet, sexy, funny and full of adorable characters . . . The kind of book that makes you feel like everything's going to be alright!' - MATT CAIN, author ofThe Secret Life of Albert Entwistle
