Rachel Lynn Solomon's Business or Pleasure is quirky, steamy and fun romcom. Chandler and Finn have an intense chemistry on their first date, but end up having bad sex. Finn, her one-night stand, is back into Chandler's life as her next professional project. This lackluster hookup later turns into lessons of seduction and they soon they grow closer, both in and out of the bedroom. What starts off as an awkward professional relationship turns into a friendship between colleagues, finally culminating into a steamy romance. The book also mentions mental health, emotional attachment and career woes.
What I absolutely love about the book is Chandler's confidence with respect to her body, sexuality and how graceful Finn is about his bad performance in bed. The focus is on clear communication and there are some hot scenes, dirty talking and a lot of kisses. I wish women's pleasure and men being unaware is more normalised in the society and we openly talk about it. An extra star for the book, only for changing the power dynamic and telling the story from a sexually liberated and experienced woman's narrative.
