Product Information

Maybe there are thousands of people who have threesomes with their colleges all the time, and I'm the prude for wondering whether it's odd. The book is told purely through Violet’s internal monologue - a writing style which grabbed me from the start. When I was growing up, every single message I heard about beauty and being a woman made me feel as though I looked all wrong.

The young woman at the centre of the story violet is achingly insecure and lost in all elements of her life and you really feel for her as she gets entangled with a group of older people who enjoy group sex . Few books out in the early half of the year are as flat-out entertaining as Buchanan's fizzy, filthy story of a young woman's sexual awakening. Overall, this was a millennial novel that matches gritty reality with dreams come true and then finding it out it wasn’t what it seems. library’s review and definitely agree, particularly when it comes down to the more sexual content, as the other themes that they tackle are quite different.The long-awaited second instalment in Samantha Shannon's Sunday Times and New York Times-bestselling series Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. I have seen very mixed reviews and was a little apprehensive going into this, but honestly I adored it, truly adored it - a witty, clever and relevant read.

Consumed by desire and wanting - there is a huge disconnect between her logical thoughts and her actions, causing a consistent internal tension. No-nos included ‘moist’, any euphemism for penis that wasn’t ‘cock’ or ‘dick’, and all flower similes. Then I would have children, and Mark would be their father, and I'd repeat the process, holding my breath and waiting for everything to go wrong, crossing my fingers that exams were passed, curfews were observed, experiments with drugs and alcohol were kept to a minimum and that teen years were pregnancy-free.

Fight scenes are coordinated, on page and screen, because seeing a single static viewpoint of two people whaling on each other is not interesting. But the best thing about this book, and the reason for the five star rating, is the author’s absolutely stunning descriptions and character observations. The first person narrative works extremely well for this story and I loved the way all Violet's inner conflicts are there for us to see.

First of all: she just happens to meet a hot couple into swinging and she has AMAZING sex with all the people involved all the time?This happened with another otherwise brilliant book (Putney - Sofka Zinovieff) and I wish book editors would work with authors to avoid this kind of thing. One minute I was applauding Violet and her choices, the next I was screaming at her, frustrated at the decisions she was making.
