Wantin takes you on an acutely affecting journey of self-discovery and exploration, in which love and hope can be found and cherished even in the darkest of times. Shrouded in serendipitous events and happenings, the nature of this novel kept me sat in suspense all the while waiting to uncover another layer of depth. Extraordinarily well-conceived and undoubtedly an accomplished debut, this singular story is one that touches the heart and mind of it's readers and never fades...Whether by fate or destiny Talia is swept off on a journey that encompasses both the ordinary and the extraordinary, as she encounters great loss and heartrending circumstances. Capturing in essence the growth {both physically and mentally} of a young girl transforming into a woman, the narrative is something that many readers will be able to connect with. The storyline focuses mainly on Talia's encounters with the opposite sex, her search for `love' and relationship with one man in particular. The main protagonist's sexual, social and physical metamorphosis from a vulnerable girl into a mature young seductress is a fascinating character-study and observations on life.Speaking to the soul this seemingly autobiographical novel is a profoundly poignant, interesting read that will appeal to a wide-readership {including more than just those who enjoy erotica}. Intense, passionate and fervent Wantin certainly grabs your attention and interest from page 1.Continued in book 2: Unrequited, this is a trilogy that promises much and something that I would recommend to readers of this genre. *I won a physical copy of Wantin by Truth devour through a first-read giveaway on Goodreads * 3.5 stars.
