I'm Actually Amazing

"I was going to be okay. I was going to be okay. That had to be the case. Even though it felt a very long way away from me in that moment..."

Everything used to work perfectly. She had plenty of orgasms and also love - a really big, terrific kind of love.

But now, as she moves into her thirties completely committed to Serious Boyfriend Number Three, things aren't functioning the way they used to. Surely there must be some way to get it all going again?

Setting off on a desperate quest to fix her bits, there's no limit to what she'll try. But nothing seems to be working.

What becomes of happily-ever-after for a woman who can't stand sex with the best guy ever? It might be time for a radically fresh start...

There is a fantastically compulsive quality to Anoushka Warden's writing and her fictional world, as shockingly funny as it is tender and revealing about love, relationships, sex and womanhood. It is not only a book that speaks to so many young women today but also a candid, fun and moving read Arifa Akbar, Former literary editor of the Independent, currently chief theatre critic at The Guardian
[Warden's] novel about a woman who unapologetically wants to live by her own rules feels really radical. The woman's fight against a world that wants to contain her is often very funny, sometimes painful, and highly unique. Her writing about sex is among the most daring I've read, centring female desire and sexuality while never being scared of embracing its messiness. Jessie Thompson, Deputy Arts Editor, Evening Standard
An honest, horny, and unfiltered look at sex and relationships, [I'm Fcking Amazing] has a narrator you'll fall in love with and a zingingly fresh, gossipy voice that's completely addictive. Reading it is probably the most fun you can have with your clothes on! Holly Williams, author of WHAT TIME IS LOVE?
