I have so much to say about this book I don’t know how to write a comprehensive review of it… it’s so brilliant, honest and the writing gets better as the book goes on.  It’s such a thorough examination of the darkness of many women’s experience of their own sexuality and how their identity is shaped by it, through internalised misogyny and infantilisation. I can’t believe it’s her debut and cannot wait to read what she writes in the future.
