Confession: this was my very first piece of Erotica. I may be hooked…Thank you Netgalley for introducing me to this genre.
There were some very good stories in this novel, some much better than others and some that I was able to relate to more. My favourite story by far was “A-Z”, not only was it exceptionally written (as was promised with this collaboration) but it was extremely sexy. I actually re-read the story because it was so hot! There were others however that did very little for me as I was not able to relate either to the sex scene or the story that was being told, but there were some that surprised me. Regardless, I still appreciated the stories in and of themselves for the most part.
This novel is truly a remarkable collaboration and I did love how each story was so unique and different from the next. Some stories were based on tragic relationships, existentialist thought or were completely fixated on the erotic associations of physical books and literature. I loved it all.
I feel that this collaboration was successful in portraying smut for literature geeks and would recommend it to a few of my nerdy friends.
I’m reading this one at the moment as well. I agree, it’s “smut for literature geeks” 🙂
