What Readers Are Saying:
An ornate masterpieceSensual, wicked, clever; its dark heart glittering. So pleasurable and original and weird.

Takes the heady, lusty, excitement that comes with new love and mingles it with the exuberance, decadence, and hedonism of NYE ... A short swirling treat.

A perfect little masterpiece, an opera in paperback ..I was seduced and I hoped and I flinched and I laughed and I admired.

The lovechild of Angela Carter and Virginia Woolf: trippy and fluid, existential and erotic, funny and witty: a hedonistic comedy of manners.

I think I love this crazy little book .. Super sexy ..Made me hoot out loud with glee for the language and audacity.

Oh man, this was a lot of fun. Such a strong sense of intelligence and wit behind every sentence.
