Insatiable
Insatiable | DAISY. BUCHANAN
4 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
'Hilarious and tender' Lauren Bravo 'An absolute triumph' Lucy Vine Stuck in a dead-end job, broken-hearted, broke and estranged from her best friend; Violet's life is nothing like she thought it would be. She wants more - better friends, better sex, a better job - and she wants it now. 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? Insatiable is about women and desire - lust, longing and the need to be loved. It is a story about being unable to tell whether you are running towards your future or simply running away from your past. The result is at once tender and sad, funny and hopeful. * Praise for Daisy Buchanan: 'I really, really, really could have done with Daisy Buchanan in my twenties' Bryony Gordon 'Her humour and honesty never fail to make me laugh, cry and feel less alone' Dolly Alderton 'Wonderful! So funny and sparkly' Marian Keyes 'Clever, honest, hilarious and kind' Nina Stibbe

I think I‘m starting to age out of the whole “pitiful 20-something makes boneheaded decisions in attempt to discover who they are” genre. It‘s not that I couldn‘t find relatable bits - I definitely could (minus the freaky sex parties), I just find myself becoming very frustrated with these types of character. There are some genuinely witty and warm-hearted moments in this but they were too few and far between.

MicheleinPhilly Also, there are some MAJOR issues with this regarding consent and trauma and none of it is ever addressed. 4y
squirrelbrain Great review and my thoughts entirely about the consent aspects - it all seemed to be treated as ‘just fine‘. 4y
MicheleinPhilly @squirrelbrain Admittedly I know nothing about how these “clubs” work but there was literally no discussion about anything. Everyone just showed up and started fucking and then getting mad. 🤔 4y
squirrelbrain Well, yes, there‘s a whole world out there isn‘t there?! 😬 I was very annoyed with the couple (can‘t remember names now) and their friends who seemed to let them get away with mistreatment just because of what they‘d been through. 4y
MicheleinPhilly @squirrelbrain Lottie and Simon. I just couldn‘t see why any of them were friends or married or coupled. None of them seemed to like one another very much. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y

The MC in this reminded me of Queenie; you want to shout at her for her ridiculous decision-making. However, this is quite different to Queenie; there‘s a lot of VERY explicit (group) sex and then it all turns incredibly dark and disturbing. (Lots of TWs)

The sex and the neatly-tied up ‘happy‘ ending detract from the fact that the ‘darkness‘ is really not tackled in a satisfactory manner, making it seem acceptable; disappointing.

Caroline2 Ohhhhhh that is disappointing!!! 🙄 4y
TrishB Ohhh, but you still finished 😊 4y
squirrelbrain Course I did @TrishB ! TBH I expected more from the ending though - some kind of ‘comeuppance‘ that didn‘t happen, hence where a lot of the disappointment with this book came from. 4y
