Review: Wild things – Laura Kay
  • 3 stars
  • Release date: 25th May
  • Buy on Amazon

I got through this fairly quickly, it was an easy listen with great LGBT+ representation.

It’s about four friends, El, Ray, Will and Jamie that decide to buy a house in the country to escape London. The book is told from El’s perspective as she tries to do one wild thing a month fora year. All while transitioning from the city to the country, stuck in a job she hates, and having a crush on her best friend Ray.

For me, it was a slow starter but about a third of the way through picked up and I listened to it at every availability to know more.

Something I really enjoyed was the found family theme, and also that the book took place across a year with a time jump epilogue. Although this was available as an ebook, I really enjoyed getting the audiobook and the narrator was great.

I will definitely look out for more from Laura Kay.
