Julia hasn't had sex for about three years. It's been even longer since she's had great sex. One day, Julia realises that she's been looking for sex in all the wrong places. She's just not that into men...

I've seen great reviews for this book and I REALLY wanted to love it. Parts of it, I did. I loved the unfolding of Julia discovering that she's a lesbian and what that means for her. I loved her friendships and I found her as a character hilarious. Then Sam entered, stage right.
.
I hated Sam. I think I was probably supposed to. But it was to the point that it ruined my enjoyment of the book a little. I wish the book had taken a different route entirely that had bypassed her completely. Or was just a fling. But unfortunately, that wasn't the case. She had a touch of the Christian Grey about her (and I hated him as a character too). Nobody deserves to be in such an abusive, controlling relationship. Especially Julia. She just wanted great sex! She certainly ended up in at the deep end.
.
Then I found myself feeling quite upset for Julia and her clear lack of self-worth. All I wanted for her was to find some inner strength and to get her happy ending.

I won't say whether this was the case or not - don't want to give too much away
