I love coming of age stories and this is one of the best I’ve read. It brought back memories of my budding years and my first experiences with sex. While my experiences differed from Veronica’s, I couldn’t help but feel I had found a kindred spirit.
While I enjoyed the story of Veronica’s trip to Thailand and her sexual adventures with Stephanie (the threesome between Veronica, Stephanie, and Philip was especially delicious!), I loved the stories of Kenny the most. He reminded me of my first boyfriend and how awkward things were back then as we tentatively explored each other’s bodies and learn to pleasure each other.
Through well-written, vivid descriptions, Veronica captures the anxiety and bewilderment all of us experienced during those awakening years. Yes, this is erotica, so expect descriptions to be on the graphic side, but this book is much more than your typical erotica novel. It is a story told from the heart. Whether you’re a man or a woman, I guarantee you’ll be able to relate to at least part, if not all, of this novel.
I hope Veronica continues recounting her discoveries. I would love to read about her open marriage and the experiences with the girl who lives with them. What a wonderful relationship to be in! Hopefully, she will share her stories in a later volume.
In the meantime, if you are looking for an adult-oriented coming of age story you can’t go wrong picking up a copy of this book.
