Review:
Wow – so far, this is the best book of 2021 and it will take a lot to beat it. Incredible story and subject matter, which I thought was very brave to delve into. This book has literally broken my heart and sewn it back together.
The story cleverly clashes the worlds of an autistic young man Sebastian, student nurse/escort Isabelle and a devoted mother Victoria. Sebastian has reached an age of needs other than fried eggs and CD’s in alphabetical order. He has sexual needs and expresses them on daily bases, landing him in trouble and making him the subject of college bullying. In come his mother Victoria, who would do whatever it takes to make her son happy. When Victoria finds out that the lovely student nurse they met at sexual health clinic, is also a high class escort by night, she makes contact with Isabelle and makes an offer Isabelle cannot refuse. For £250,000 give up escorting and only look after the needs of her son Sebastian.
The three people go on a massive journey of self-discovery with broken hearts, jealousy, guilt, judgment and love. It’s a huge rollercoaster of emotions whilst finding out reasons behind Isabelle’s escorting career and pain. Victoria has to find a way to get over her own prejudice ideas to let Isabelle in and find out the man that Sebastian becomes.
Wonderful book.
