Book Description
If he always has the headache, why should you suffer?
In the bestselling tradition of Bridget Jones's Diary
comes this outrageous, hilarious look at love, marriage, and
sex, introducing Anna Shapiro, who believes that surely there
must be more to married life....
Tabloid reporter Anna Shapiro can pinpoint the day, three
years ago, that she and her husband, Dan, last had great sex.
Anna would be grateful if something as ordinary as a mere
headache was her husband's excuse; Dan's hypochondriac
terrors include brain tumors, tropical diseases, and
spontaneous combustion. While she loves her husband, she's
not ready to give up on sex at age thirty-seven--so what can
she do?
It's the perfect time for the distraction of a freelance
assignment. But what her editor has in mind is a story on the
explosive new feminist manifesto that prescribes
no-strings-attached affairs for women. Anna's assignment is
to interview three women who've had extramarital affairs
purely for sexual pleasure--but she's inclined to take her
research a bit further....
Can a woman have an uncomplicated affair purely for sexual
pleasure--or do her emotions invariably interfere? Anna's
determined to find out. And despite her worries about her
middle-aged body, potential research assistants prove to be
plentiful.
Going where no journalist has gone before, Anna delves
into a world she'd never considered until now. What is, after
all, the perfect outfit for committing adultery in? Is it
truly beyond the pale to pick up a man--no matter how sexy he
is--at a funeral? And what can be done about that single
horrifying gray hair? The answers are more hilarious than
Anna could ever have predicted.
But soon Anna finds herself facing the question that she
never thought she'd have to answer: Is she willing to give up
her marriage and her children for what may be the biggest
gamble of her life?
A novel for every woman who's ever wondered--and every
woman who hasn't--Neurotica will have you roaring with
laughter as it takes you on a wickedly delightful journey of
sheer indulgence.
