Allie Rowbottom and 2 other people liked T Madden's review of Lovers XXX:
Lovers XXX by Allie Rowbottom
"Without hyperbole, one of the greatest novels I've ever read. So skillful. Both smart and wise. Terribly heartbreaking. Sexy, dark, completely unputdownable. "
Allie Rowbottom and 27 other people liked Roman Clodia's review of Lovers XXX:
Lovers XXX by Allie Rowbottom
"
Jude knew, she knew that women wanted as much as men, sexually speaking. But they were told to want less. Everywhere but porn they were told that.

Well, this is provocative and surprising from the Virago imprint. Rowbottom has written a nuanced bo" Read more of this review »

A masterpiece and a master class in human emotion, character development and how plot puts pressure on character to reveal their truest selves. I have never read a novel like WHIDBEY. Never read anything–fiction or non–so honest, brutal, unflinching, ...more

Quotes by Allie Rowbottom  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Maybe she’s a natural beauty, an untouched beauty. The sales pitch for every powder, cream, procedure. But there’s always a consequence, some side effect that keeps away the promised miracle. Acne from pore-clogging foundation. Asymmetry from filler injected willy-nilly. Body dysmorphia from the asymmetry caused by the filler, which even when dissolved leaves your skin stretched out and floppy. It’s the same with pills: Vicodin cuts the pain, but then you can’t shit;”
Allie Rowbottom, Aesthetica

“I had the privileges attached to health and youth and whiteness. And a wide open something I mistook for beauty. I imagine it now as an invisible mark, an absence where a father went, a fear of who I’d be without a mother. She had always been sick, and even when I pushed her away, even as I tried to be different, I knew to fear her loss. I am responsible; I am not at fault.”
Allie Rowbottom, Aesthetica

“Natural is better than prosthetic. Natural is moral. Natural connotes a certain kind of woman, a peaceful wise-woman, a woman like my mother.”
Allie Rowbottom, Aesthetica
