A review by bethbarnham
Insatiable by Daisy Buchanan
1.0
This was a difficult read, I expected far more from this book. It was a typical millennial existential crisis ending in a happily ever after love which, in some ways, was obvious from the beginning but it also had me hoping that it wouldn’t. It promised a seductive read but it was just a weird trigonometry, third wheel, not respected, strange play on middle aged sex parties.
The naïveté and frankly poor judgment on Violet’s part was unnerving. She constantly settled for what she thought she deserved. A line which especially stood out to me was when she said all she wanted to do was ‘curl up at the end of Simon and Lottie’s bed’ like some kind of stray cat. I wanted to give her a kick up the backside to make her realise what she was doing.
In theory, this book should have been brilliant, sexy, seductive, but really it tried to pack more into those pages than the author had time to explore, disappointing.
