The blurb:
Phoebe Henderson may be single but
she sure doesn't feel fabulous. It's been a year since she found her boyfriend
Alex in bed with another woman, and multiple cases of wine and extensive
relationship analysis with best friend Lucy have done nothing to help. Faced
with a new year but no new love, Phoebe concocts a different kind of
resolution.
The List: ten things she's always
wanted to do in bed but has never had the chance (or the courage!) to try. A
bucket list for between the sheets. One year of pleasure, no strings attached.
Simple, right?
Factor in meddlesome colleagues,
friends with benefits, getting frisky al fresco and maybe, possibly, true love
and Phoebe's got her work cut out for her.
My Opinion:
I think this is by far the
funniest book I’ve ever read!
It follows the story of
Phoebe Henderson, a very relatable and genuine character. She was very open,
funny and just great to read about. Single for a while now, she wants something
new for the New Year and she starts THE LIST! 10 challenges to try out in bed…
But with whom? Her best
friend gorgeous Oliver agrees to do it! The challenges were fun to follow and I
loved the way Joanna described them all, very detailed and vivid. Oliver and
Phoebe instantly had a real connection, even deeper when they were just
friends, not just because of the sex.
Both were still seeing
other people, but it was obvious that they were jealous. Him, with a different
woman every now and then, mostly models and Phoebe with her boss. And then her
ex Alex shows up as well.
The book was divided into
small chaps for every single day, which was great and different.
This book is an awesome
mixture of chick-lit and erotica, but in such a hilarious and unique way.
The way the story developed
towards the end was a bit surprising and unexpected for me, but I still hoped
for Oliver and Phoebe to get together. The last scene was a bit of amazement as
well. But these things are also good, because they make they story more
interesting and special.
Joanna is a brilliant
author, her writing is hilarious, vivid, genuine and just such a pleasure to
read! I’m really looking forward to more of her work!
