Sex, lots of it, but strangely not really titillating for being factual it has a practical, sex manual feel to it and you can tell the author is a journalist. She writes a column for The Independent on sex and much of her research comes from her own exploits. However it does have a sort of searching for Mr Right story and a genuinely surprising twist. Good fun, humorous, light-hearted and very instructional.

"e;Sexy, confident and brimming with attitude."e; Cosmopolitan The provocative international bestseller, published in 8 countries, finally comes home to the U.S. Catherine Townsend leaves her martini swilling life as a New York City gossip columnist to find love and adventure in London with her amazing new boyfriend. But she gets dumped, and literally kicked to the curb.
Jobless, homeless and on the rebound, she puts her wild sexual encounters the good, the bad and the gnaw-your-arm-off-at-the-elbow-ugly into good use by putting them in a dating column. She learns the difference between US and UK versions of 'monogamy', the going rate of male escorts, which dildos are dishwasher friendly, and the etiquette of sex parties (Rules No 1: Don't Discuss politics. Or plastic surgery.) But while she's working her way through intelligent dinner dates followed by no-strings-attached hot sex, she's also looking for love.
Can she combine sleeping around with searching for a soul mate?
