Title: Look at me
Description: "Look at Me tells the story of Dana, whose mother was loving and charismatic, with some of the powers of a witch. When her mother dies at a tragically young age, Dana, barely in her teens, learns to use sex to grab attention and relieve her loneliness. As an adult, a geneticist in Washington, D.C., Dana's odyssey is that of a sexual aggressor, comfortable with the 'slut' side of her nature, but frightened by any love that she cannot control.

She has a compulsion to prove her ability to attract, again and again, but finally has to grapple with the dangerous urges she finds in herself and acts out. Mixing urban edge with magic realism, Look at Me is a spare, beautifully crafted novel by a twenty-four year-old talent with a highly intelligent take on compulsive sex and the fear of losing oneself to love."--BOOK JACKET.
