While I wouldn't say Anatomy of a Boyfriend is overly grapic, Daria Snadowsky does not hold back or drop the black curtain when it comes to sex scenes like many books of the genre do. I read this one the first time when it came out in paperback in 2008, so it was interesting to do a reread again now before I went on to read its sequel. In addition to being honest, Daria Snadowsky manages to write a story that is painfully realistic when it comes to love, sex, and relationships. ![]() Anatomy of a Boyfriend is one of the most honest books I've read out there that deals with the main character's sex life. ![]() |
