Anna Shapiro’s husband has been a hypochondriac for longer than she cares to remember. Now Dan is even frightened to make love, in case the strain gives him a heart attack. Anna is determined to find some fun soon – not to mention some decent sex – in this new book by Sue Margolis.
Then a sensational new book comes out, suggesting that women are just as capable as men of having affairs purely for sexual pleasure. Could sex be like going for a facial, except you get an orgasm instead of your blackheads squeezed? There’s only one way to find out.
Anna – a 37-year-old mother of two in desperate need of a tummy tuck, breast lift and open pore surgery – is about to spend the next few weeks committing adultery for the pure joy of it – and with hilarious results. But there’s a catch. Anna still loves her husband. And by setting out on her lone quest, she’s putting her marriage at risk…
Fast, funny, shocking and unputdownable, Neurotica is a novel for every woman who has ever wondered how high you can fly with an airline captain and just what male strippers keep in their posing pouches. But be warned: this book will have you shouting with laughter!
“Dan Bloomfield stood in front of the full-length bathroom mirror, dropped his boxers to his ankles, moved his penis to one side to get a better look and stared hard at the sagging, wrinkled flesh which housed his testicles. Whenever Dan examined his testicles – and as a hypochondriac he did this several times a week – he thought of two things: the likelihood of his imminent demise; and the cupboard under the stairs in his mother’s house in Finchley.”
“A tremendously funny, colourful and gripping read.” – The Mail on Sunday
“A kind of Bridget Jones’s Diary for the matrimonial set.” – People
“Taking up where Bridget Jones’s Diary took off, this saucy, sexy British adventure redefines the lusty woman’s search for erotic satisfaction (…) Anna’s story is not simply a portrait of a marriage or fluffy erotic high jinks, but rather a taut and rambunctious tale exploring the perils and raptures of the pursuit of passion.” – Publishers Weekly
Who needs company when you have a book like this! Many moons ago when my then boyfriend moved in with me, I commented on how funny this book was! thinking he was being kind he feigned interest and began perusing the pages. Suffice to say I couldn’t get a word out of him for 2 days, and all I heard was the occasional sound of crazed laughter! I have to say i forgave him as this is one and only book that has had me laughing out loud at regular intervals. I’m usually put off by what appears to be pulp fiction, but this really is the exception. If you like Joan Rivers’ caustic wit then this is the book for you! don’t miss it!’
Funny and delightfully dirty ‘This is surely one of the cleverist, funniest, and delightfully dirtiest books I have ever read. I was so excited to find it in Kindle form. If you love Marian Keyes, this is the equivalent in all ways’.
