When Roxane Gay tells you to read a book on Goodreads, I take it to heart. She called Bad Sex “dark and sexy and unrepentant.” It certainly is all of those things.
Short, but packing an incredible punch, Bad Sex is what happens when a writer taps into the darkest desires of humanity and puts them to page. When Brett, a recovering alcoholic expatriate living in Central America, meets her husband’s banker, she abandons everything—even her sobriety—for the hope of feeling, and staying, in the place where everything is heady and beautiful.
Brett is an incredible character, astonishing in her raw, tumultuous search for affection, and it spills out of her and into the reader at an almost unstoppable rate. She connects with everything that we recognize as being powerfully woman, and succumbs to everything that we see as being uniquely human.

очень смешно и в моем стиле: начала читать, думаю, вот это автофикшен, вот это тема. решила погуглить авторку, оказалось, что это автор и никакой не авто, а просто фикшен. но решила всё равно дочитать............... но хз....... довольно скучно, норм только первая треть.

Hot, spontaneous sex that leads to completely foreseen yet totally ignored consequences. Imperfect and sumptuous.
