I am not a massive fan of sex scenes in books, but of course the subject itself always makes for a interesting read.

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.and that is definitely something this book offered, i just couldn't really see it at first through all the sex and fanfare. There is far too much going on, and unfortunately the carefully crafted plot up this point begins to fall apart. The problem with discussing porn and erotica – which, for the sake of clarity, I mean the film format and the written format of sex stories – is that there really is a binary.

Almost immediately it becomes more than that, with Violet entering into a threesome with Lottie and her husband Simon. The fact that a spectrum of quality in the works exists, and is noted by consumers, is not something that is easy to discuss in certain company.Her books include the novels Insatiable (long listed for the CWIP prize), Careering (as heard on BBC Sounds), Limelight, and Pity Party, coming in July 2024.

Funny at times, tragic at times, Buchanan has delivered an intriguing, if slightly excessive, debut.

Quickly Violet realises she is being invited into much more than a new job when she attends one of their Friday night sex parties and soon she becomes hooked on Lottie, Simon and their friends. Insatiable is a story about loneliness and trying to fit in, about our desire to be loved and included, how it's easy to confuse being wanted with being used. The million copy bestseller, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and.
