'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
