Evening Standard

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.

This novel shines with dark humor, sharp intelligence, sizzling sex scenes, and a piercing portrayal of loneliness. Not even the most insatiable reader will be able to resist its allure.
