I am irritated by the cover blurb that calls the book "darkly erotic." I guess any time a woman writes about sex in an open, noneuphmetistic manner, that's "erotic." Clearly, none of the sex in this book is meant to titillate, and it irks me that the publisher felt the need to sensationalize the contents of the book falsely. It was cheap and degrading, much as the women in the novel are degraded based on their sex. ]]>
