Seduction Theory by Emily Adrian

Love and marriage - and infidelity. A smart, funny, delicious novel about a long marriage being derailed during a hot summer on a prestigious American campus

The most fun I have had with a novel in yearsSeduction Theory breathes new and mesmerising life into the campus novel and the marriage plot to produce a book so enjoyable that reading it felt almost decadent -- Megan Nolan, author of ORDINARY HUMAN FAILINGS
A ferociously clever, funny and compulsive read. Seduction Theory is an absolute gift of a novel, playing with form and expectation in the most exhilarating ways. It's by far and away my favourite book of the year - and probably next year, too -- NATHAN FILER, author of THE SHOCK OF THE FALL
So classy, so cool and so funny. It's completely insightful about midlife and marriage, and propulsive too -- NAOMI WOOD, author of MRS. HEMINGWAY
So emotionally honest, clever, and sexy, I really enjoyed Seduction Theory -- CHARLOTTE MENDELSON, author of WIFE
Seduction Theory nails the campus satire with savagery and grace, and it's clear that Adrian is a major talent -- RUFI THORPE, author of MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES
A deliriously smart, funny, sexy, page-turner, raising provocative questions about truth, desire, power, obsession, and what it really means to live a shared life -- JUSTIN TAYLOR, author of REBOOT
With sparkling wit and striking formal ingenuity, Seduction Theory gives vibrant new life to the marriage-in-crisis novel. I was completely hooked from the first page -- ANDREW MARTIN, author of EARLY WORK
Seduction Theory is funny, clever and beguiling: Emily Adrian has written a hugely enjoyable, satisfying campus novel that somehow also subverts and invigorates the genre -- Lisa Owens, author of NOT WORKING
Pin-sharp and witty, Seduction Theory also has the twists and turns of a thriller. I ripped through the last ten pages holding my breath -- Esther Coren
I really loved Seduction Theory. A study of a marriage and a sharply observed campus novel, it had me chuckling away. David Lodge meets Charlotte Mendelson, with shades of Rachel Cusk, but with a style all Emily Adrian's own. This summer's smart, classy sun lounger read - you will LOVE it -- Georgina Moore, author of THE GARNETT GIRLS
Adrian's clear sighted, blistering prose leaves me out of breath. Seduction Theory nails the campus satire with savagery and grace -- Rufi Thorpe, author of MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES
