music, books, love and kindness

I knew the moment I saw this on the shelf years ago I just had to have this book and even after I discovered it was pretty sexually explicit I didn't care. I kept reading because it felt so real...so full of identity, hurt, truth and honesty...

Julia is an unhappily married woman and the last woman in the world I ever expected to relate to or feel so bad for. When I first read it broke my heart and it still does...the way her parents and husband treat her like a child. She has a mind, but because she almost once lost it, no one wants her to use it now. She had a nervous breakdown in college and immediately went home and into therapy...and four years later straight into marriage.

Now Julia wants to resume her life, her career interests and maybe because of her sexless marriage and a need to find out what's normal and what's not when it comes to desire and wanting more, she decides to research what really goes on in the world of phone sex.

_Lip Service_ turned out to be very, very (very!) good, but never really reached the climax I thought it would.
