“Nothing compares to the dew of your body. I am trapped in your head, I search for you in my dreams. I press my whole self against your breasts, your nipples…”
On the day I received audiobook narrator auditions, I was with my family at an aquarium, so I was unable to listen right away, though I was dying to. I was finally able to listen in the car on the way home, with my kids (boys, then ten and twelve) listening along in the backseat. We quickly discovered that this was the scene chosen for the audition, so my kids had to listen to this line about nipples three times (and they were scandalized each time). I love that they shared this moment with Pepper—hearing something absolutely cringe-inducing about a parent/written by a parent—an experience that I think is pretty universal.
