Open Season by Cassie Werber

Open Season by Cassie Werber

Two couples' lives sexually and romantically intersect, in a stunning debut novel that deftly peels apart the complexities of sex, love, honesty, and betrayal.

A breathtaking novel that gets under the skin of the complexities of love, sex and human natureThe writing seduces and sings, and the characters are devastatingly real. An astonishing debut. * Katie Bishop, author of THE GIRLS OF SUMMER *
A perceptive book about intimacy and desire that feels zingy, original, fresh. To read it is to tease out together with the characters the many ways of loving and living a life. * Chloë Ashby, author of WET PAINT *
I really loved this novel. It is tender, shimmering, elegant, and true. It paints a clear, lucid picture of a group of people trying to work out how to love and live in an honest, authentic way; how to balance freedom and autonomy; how to relate fully to another without compromising our sense of self. It is thoughtful and sensual, sexy and cerebral. The prose is beautifully honed, clear and precise. I felt totally caught up in the characters' lives and felt that the way you handled the narrative tension and kept the reader guessing about the characters' back stories and who wanted what from whom was expertly done." * Laura Barnett, author of THE VERSIONS OF US *
