THE MOST TALKED ABOUT BOOK OF THE YEAR 'As filthy as it is funny,
you won't be able to put it down' Dolly Alderton 'Extremely funny,
touching and wonderfully refreshing on women and sexual desire'
Marian Keyes 'You will be intoxicated by this witty and honest
exploration of female desire' Elle 'Insatiable is a story about
loneliness and trying to fit in, about our desire to be loved and
included, how it's easy to confuse being wanted with being used.
It'll draw people in with the shagging, but people will stay
because they're rooting for Violet.' Evening Standard Stuck in a
dead-end job, broken-hearted, broke and estranged from her best
friend: Violet's life is nothing like she thought it would be. She
wants more - better friends, better sex, a better job - and she
wants it now. So, when Lottie - who looks like the woman Violet
wants to be when she grows up - offers Violet the chance to join
her exciting start-up, she bites. Only it soon becomes clear that
Lottie and her husband Simon are not only inviting Violet into
their company, they are also inviting her into their lives. Seduced
by their townhouse, their expensive candles and their Friday-night
sex parties, Violet cannot tear herself away from Lottie, Simon or
their friends. But is this really the more Violet yearns for? Will
it grant her the satisfaction she is so desperately seeking?
Insatiable is about women and desire - lust, longing and the need
to be loved. It is a story about being unable to tell whether you
are running towards your future or simply running away from your
past. The result is at once tender and sad, funny and hopeful. *
'This novel shines with dark humour, sharp intelligence, sizzling
sex scenes, and a piercing portrayal of loneliness. Not even the
most insatiable reader could ask for more.' Katherine Heiny
'Filthy, funny, and raw, Insatiable is utterly addictive' Louise
O'Neill 'Come for the absolute filth and stay for the empathetic
and sensitive way that Daisy Buchanan writes about all the chaos
and conflict of being a young woman in a hard-edged, hard-faced
world.' Red 'A piercing insight into the unreal demands modern
women place on themselves and told with real humour and energy, we
love this book so much' Stylist 'A raucous unravelling of female
desire and bodily pleasures, in all their maddening complexity'
Emma Jane Unsworth 'Few books out in the early half of the year are
as flat-out entertaining as Buchanan's fizzy, filthy story of a
young woman's sexual awakening.' i paper 'I'd call Insatiable Jilly
Cooper for the Instagram generation, but that wouldn't do this book
justice' Lauren Bravo 'Daisy brings characters to life like no
other writer, pumping them full of humour, vulnerability and sexy
sexy sex' Lucy Vine 'Gloriously rude and brave about the nature of
women's desire' Sophia Money-Coutts 'I raced through this funny,
filthy and utterly compelling debut about female sexuality,
ambition and vulnerability... I'm still thinking about it long
after turning the final page.' Daily Mail 'I can't believe this is
a fiction debut - she writes stories like she's been doing it for
fifty years' Laura Jane Williams 'Insatiable is an unashamedly
filthy and yet deeply sensitive exploration of female desire,
aspiration and vulnerability, and Daisy is an exciting new voice in
contemporary fiction.' Hannah Beckerman 'It reminded me of Bridget
Jones's Diary - if Bridget were bisexual and Daniel Cleaver were a
couple who were into group sex.' Julie Cohen 'Erica Jong for the
Instagram age.' Keith Stuart 'Intelligent, observant prose that
gives a snap-shot of life experienced by millennial women.' Kate
Sawyer 'Like going for a drink with your wisest and smuttiest
friend' Jessica Moor 'Funny, filthy ... Buchanan offers astute
social observation, while the development of Violet as an ardent
yet vulnerable heroine to root for makes her a millennial
counterpart to Jilly Cooper's Bella or Octavia.' The Sunday Times
