After Reisz's The Original Sinners series, there was no way I could turn down reading something else by her. She writes with sexual abandon with no holding back about her character's sexuality and I think that's what I connect to the most. Her women are repressed, can express themselves and have no problem doing so. They're adults, with minimal childish drama, which makes her work so refreshing.Beatriz, the leading character, is a sex columnist and she's on her way to her friends wedding when she is tasked last minute to write a book review. In a hurry, she grabs a book that turns out to be a sex position manual...which means that she has to find someone to have sex with and fast.Luckily, or unluckily, her crush from college, Ben, is also in attendance at the wedding. She loved him desperately years ago and was brutally rebuffed when he turned down her offer for sex, for reason unknown. This time, she's determined not to let him get away...again. With the help of her friends Claudia and Henry, she propositions Ben into helping her with her sex position manual. And Ben isn't going to let the opportunity pass him by this time and accepts.A sweet, humorous comedy of errors follows that I absolutely enjoyed. This is a short >30k words novelette that is just the thing if you'd like something short and sweet.
