Opis

"Get ready: while other books may show up carefully dressed, this one answers the door in her underwear."

..".a new, exciting voice in fiction...A truly impressive debut novel that announces Carlisle as a writer to watch."

-Rob Roberge, author of Working Backwards from the Worst Moment of My Life

"The characters that inhabit this sharp and witty novel are troubled, impoverished, confused, lost, sexually frustrated, and intellectually unfulfilled. So...basically everyone I know."

-Mike Barker, Co-Creator and Head Writer, American Dad

..".saucy writing yet tender and heart-felt characters...bridges an unusual but empowering sisterhood between girls-next-door and girls-on-stripper-poles. It's about time

-Jennifer Musselman, author of Own It The Ups & Downs of Homebuying for Women Who Go It Alone

Twenty-five-year-old Tamina is a sharp-witted Jersey girl living in Hollywood with a near-phobic response to mismatching colors, an addiction to pedicures, and a hectic job teaching comprehensive sex education to urban youth. Suffering the consequences of a violent assault, Tam looks for relief in romance and LA's underground erotic entertainment scene. However, when Tam's young attacker unexpectedly resurfaces among a crowd of drag queens, porn stars, and musicians, Tam finally must make real choices. Fear or confrontation. Cynicism or curiosity. Silence or honesty. It would be surreal, if it wasn't LA.
