Sinossi
Ragazzi e uomini amati e odiati, sconosciuti di una notte, amici che poi diventano amanti, tutti loro, alla fine, soltanto corpi in cui Charlotte cerca se stessa, disperatamente, mentre da ragazza diventa donna e la galleria dei suoi partner cresce insieme agli abbandoni. Eppure c'è qualcosa che Charlotte, vittima e carnefice al tempo stesso, e inaffidabile ed enigmatica narratrice, nasconde oltre i corpi e i volti maschili: qualcosa che l'accompagna da quando è adolescente e da cui ormai è troppo tardi per cercare di liberarsi. Raramente in questi anni il desiderio è stato raccontato con tanta intensità come in questo romanzo sensuale e inquietante, che esplora le profondità oscure del sesso e la dipendenza più dolce dall'amore.

One of the most unique books I've ever read! Didn't really jam with the writing style, and the word 'and' was used far too many times, to the point that I was reading sentences in my head without taking breaths. But, the premise was good and it really got me thinking!
I’m having a bad run of books this month and really hoped Bodies, the debut novel from Irish writer Christine Anne Foley, would break the cycle. While I got through it quickly, it didn’t really work for me though I did appreciate elements of it. Our narrator Charlotte is a young, troubled woman lean Leggi tutto
women are so magnificent 👀💕 I loved it
honestly i feel a bit underwhelmed by this. it has great potential, i just think it needed to be longer to really expand and explore the story a bit more.
men are trash <3 (and sometimes so are women??? but they’re cooler trash) Huge thank you to John Murray Press for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own. cw// rape, sexual assault, death, sexual content, suicide
this book is unlike anything i've ever read!! it's dark and twisted but it's also relatable and real. (please check trigger warnings!!)
