So, when Lottie - who looks like the woman Violet wants to be when she grows up - offers Violet the chance to join her exciting start-up, she bites. Only it soon becomes clear that Lottie and her husband Simon are not only inviting Violet into their company, they are also inviting her into their lives.
Seduced by their townhouse, their expensive candles and their Friday-night sex parties, Violet cannot tear herself away from Lottie, Simon or their friends. But is this really the more Violet yearns for? Will it grant her the satisfaction she is so desperately seeking?
Creepy, grubby book about creepy, grubby people having lots and lots of really boring sex with each other. The MC reminded me of Bella Swan from Twilight. She has a difficult relationship with her parents, who sound emotionally abusive, so she 'falls in love' with an older married couple and joins them in their grim-sounding sex parties. Basically it was just a load of sex scenes that sounded like they'd been written by a fifteen year old boy whose entire understanding of sex derives from watching really cheap porn, held together with a plot with holes you could drive a tractor through, populated by a cast of characters I could have cheerfully punched. There was a mildly redeeming bit at the end and if it wasn't for that I would have given it one star. Not recommended.
