Customer Reviews

Guilty pleasure gold!

I gave this book four stars because it is very engrossing. It's the kind of book you will find yourself immersed in. The sexual antics described in this book may seem almost unreal and merely for shock value, but it leads one to wonder: what really goes on in the bedrooms of so-called 'normal' folk?Pizzey seems to know perfectly how to express the plight of a woman. Her characters are the embodiment of the tortured human soul, and seem to remind you of people you've known. Think brain candy with heart.

Devastatingly truthful and painful to the point of no return

I had picked this up in an odd section of the book store and it seemed like an odd book to begin with. However, as cliched as it might be, as soon as I opened the book, I couldn't put it down. Pizzey is one of my favorite authors because of this book. What she writes about the relationship between people, especially mothers, is very painful but truthful simultaneously. I liked how she had this transformation of the protagonist with bits of reality such as her lovers taking off. In other novels, there is no such event happening and I especially adored the wisecracking Anne and Claire, the sidekicks of the novel. I reocmmend this novel to all people because what it actually has is the basic truth to all relaitonships. The End.
