| Juliet, the main character, is struggling with sex/romance/commitment. She's finding it impossible to continue having meaningless sex, much to her horror. Her friends think that she's sick of sleeping around and actually would like a relationship, the very thought of which gives her the shivers. Her two best friends are at opposite ends of the spectrum. There is Mel, the Dominatrix, who maintains the upper hand in her relationships, as well as a cool detachment. Then there is Gillian, who has the ideal marriage, minus the sex. While Gillian is struggling to break out of her celibate commitment, Juliet is facing her own sort of self-imposed commitment to celibacy. Much soul searching occurs by all three women, and in the end, all is resolved. A funny, light, enjoyable read. | ||
