Insatiable Synopsis
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.

Daisy Buchanan Press Reviews
'You will be intoxicated by this witty and honest exploration of female desire' - Elle
'An escapist romp (with plenty of actual romps to boot)' - Cosmopolitan
'Extremely funny, touching and wonderfully refreshing on women and sexual desire -- Marian Keyes British journalist Daisy Buchanan has somehow managed to distinguish herself from the pack, with a novel that's both smoothly observant and brilliantly, giddily filthy' - Irish Times
'As filthy as it is funny, you won't be able to put it down' -- Dolly Alderton
'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
'Filthy, funny, and raw, Insatiable is utterly addictive -- Louise O'Neill 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
'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
'A frank, funny account of 21st-century lust.' - Independent
'A raucous unravelling of female desire and bodily pleasures, in all their maddening complexity -- Emma Jane Unsworth Buchanan is absolutely fearless and one only hopes that there is a sequel on the way' - The Gloss
'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
