Book Hero thinking about your next read

One of 2021's most exciting launches is now coming in paperback. Insatiable is award-winning journalist and writer Daisy Buchanan's debut novel and she is a talent to watch.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

‘Extremely funny, touching and wonderfully refreshing on women and sexual desire’ Marian Keyes

‘As filthy as it is funny, you won't be able to put it down’ Dolly Alderton

Stuck in a dead-end job, broken-hearted, broke and estranged from her best friend: Violet's life is nothing like she thought it would be. She wants more - better friends, better sex, a better job - and she wants it now.

So, when Lottie - who looks like the woman Violet wants to be when she grows up - offers Violet the chance to join her exciting start-up, she bites. Only it soon becomes clear that Lottie and her husband Simon are not only inviting Violet into their company, they are also inviting her into their lives.

Seduced by their townhouse, their expensive candles and their Friday-night sex parties, Violet cannot tear herself away from Lottie, Simon or their friends. But is this really the more Violet yearns for? Will it grant her the satisfaction she is so desperately seeking?

Insatiable is about women and desire - lust, longing and the need to be loved. It is a story about being unable to tell whether you are running towards your future or simply running away from your past. The result is at once tender and sad, funny and hopeful.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Reviews describe Insatiable by Daisy Buchanan as a witty, escapist exploration of female desire with a blend of humour and rawness. The novel is praised for its intoxicating mix of filth and fun, drawing readers into a story rich with social commentary on modern womanhood and sexuality. Buchanan's debut is noted for being both hilariously filthy and deeply sensitive, making it an engaging read that captures the complexities of ambition and vulnerability.
