I didn‘t like this book as much as I hoped to. The author and I are the same age, so reading about her youthful exploits was like a shadow tour of my own youth. Not so much the desperation to be loved or the volume of encounters, but the pattern of short relationships, the attitudes towards sex and sexuality, and the boys‘ behavior...yep, that was the late 80s/early 90s. The writing was beautiful, but I felt the subject matter wore thin.
