Mehso-so

This one was weird!!!
The story consists of several vignettes, each following an unnamed adolescent narrator, and Simone, his principal sexual partner. They begin an affair of exploration, both physically and metaphorically, but soon began to explore new avenues.
It‘s much more than a book about sex. It‘s a story of eroticism in its most exquisite forms.

I don't mind sex. At all. But 70 pages with nothing but sex with lots of urine, eggs and ultimately an eye, bored me. I probably didn't get the point, but then again, I am not interested. #1001books

nathandrake1997 Glad I'm not the only one! I love transgressive fiction but this was a laughably cartoonish snoozefest! 2y
BarbaraBB @nathandrake1997 Right?! Not worth our time! 2y
