This ferocious debut novel follows Eve, an intelligent but alienated barista in Brooklyn, whose foray into online exhibitionism leads her to Olivia and Nathan: a beautiful couple with a discomfiting power imbalance, who ask her to join them in bed. What follows is a sexual awakening that forces Eve to confront questions of consent, masochism and gender roles. It's not for the faint hearted: think Fifty Shades of Grey as written by Rachel Cusk. The Guardian described it as "a sex masterpiece."
