I loved this book. It's one I've wanted to keep going back to and reading snippets of.

A fantastic read. Looks deeply at the issues of intimacy, commitment, relationships and lust. I found it to be an interesting look into the psychology of someone addicted to sex rather than it coming across as an erotic book, even though it definitely is in parts.

More like 3.5. It felt like it was missing something to tie it all together (the memoir moves back and forth btwn present day and her youth) and thinking back on it there seem to be a lot of loose ends, but overall an enjoyable read.

This book has been on my radar for a while. It's the story of Krissy's exploration of sexual desire.

Kneen is a great writer who tells her story of sexual exploration and acceptance with great honesty and forthrightness. There are moments of great eroticism as she lays out her sexual adventures and revelations.

Kneen has also written a book of erotic short stories and I'll be following this up.

This book made me feel really sad. I wanted some depth and introspection, some redemption and gratitude. All I found was a pile of old mechanics and a bit of self pity.

Close to being a 5-star. The cover doesn't do it justice - in fact those looking for straight (normative hetero) erotica might be rather upset. A full and intriguing character development.
