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

When the opportunity of a lifetime arrives, will El be ready to make the leap and embrace her wild side?

Stuck in a dead-end job and hopelessly in unrequited love with her best friend, El needs a major life change. One New Year's resolution to 'Be More Wild' later, and she's committed to doing one wild thing every month for a year. Admittedly, so far it's amounted to one small tattoo, one bad hangover and 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...

Can best friends ever really become lovers or could the truth ruin life at 'the commune' for ever?
