Book Synopsis:
Straight-laced Jean has always done what’s expected of her – by her traditional parents, by her demonic boss, and by her overgrown baby of an ex-boyfriend.
Until now.
Taking her life into her own hands, she decides to do something that takes her out of her comfort zone; a woman heels-over-head, and not head-over-heels, in love. When Jean meets married-but-open pianist Gabriel, she explores all that modern romance has to offer… but can relationships last without entangled hearts being broken?
Jean is about to find out.
For fans of Dolly Alderton, Holly Bourne and Fleabag, this is fun, fresh, feminist fiction that will have you laughing in recognition and yelling in solidarity.
Strings Attached is available in ebook and paperback now. The ebook is currently only 99p. You can purchase a copy of both using the link below.
My Review:
Strings Attached is a fresh, funny and eye opening read which would be a great book to read in the sun this summer!
In a nut shell this book looks at the concept of modern love and the many different things this can encompass. The reader follows Jean on her journey to sexual liberation through sex parties, sex retreats, open marriages and multiple partners which is definitely not for the faint hearted! The author writes the story with a frankness that is unapologetic and a bit flirty at times which made it a great read.
It was wonderful to follow Jean and Gabriel’s blossoming relationship which seemed very real and quite true to life. Some of the moments between them were actually quite beautiful and some were quite poignant, making me feel quite sorry for Jean.
This was a very funny read which often had me laughing out loud, much to my son’s amusement though I couldn’t tell him why I was laughing! There were some awkward moments which were a bit cringy and some discussions about femanism which went over my head but this didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment of this book.
Huge thanks to Tracy Fenton for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Orion for my copy of this book via Netgalley.
