Wild Things - Laura Kay

. .

Résumé :
A warmhearted, hilarious queer rom-com about what happens when a group of friends are actually brave enough to live the dream and give up their dreary city apartments to buy a house in the country together. El is stuck in a rut. She's been hiding in the photocopier room at the same dead-end job for longer than she cares to remember, she has a roommate who leaves passive-aggressive notes on the fridge about milk consumption, and, worst of all, she's been in unrequited love with her best friend, Ray--the girl of her dreams--for years. So when a plan is hatched for El, Ray, and their two other closest friends--newly heartbroken Will and karaoke and Twilight superfan Jamie--to ditch the big city and move out to a ramshackle house on the edge of a rural English village, it feels like just the escape everyone needs. Despite being the DIY challenge of a lifetime, the newly named Lavender House has all the makings of becoming an idyllic queer commune. But as the gang starts 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 she's been desperately trying to keep buried. Is it worth ruining their friendship for a chance at love?--
