The memoir of an English woman in her forties, Cutting Up Playgirl is a candid account of one woman's search for sexual satisfaction. Carrie Jones has never been raped or sold as a sex slave, nor abused by her parents. She is not a prostitute. She's just a fairly normal woman trying to work out the true nature of her sexuality. She has slept with 23 men, but does not know for certain if she has ever had an orgasm during sex. Like many women and men she finds it hard to bridge the wide gulf between her vivid fantasy life and her ?real? everyday existence. Sad, achingly funny and beautifully written, Cutting Up Playgirl will speak to all women who find their sex lives are somewhat different to those portrayed in today's media. AUTHOR: Carrie Jones is the pseudonym of a successful publishing professional. Cutting Up Playgirl is her first novel. SELLING POINTS: A forthright, thoughtful and down-to-earth take on the best-selling sex memoir genre. Extensive press and radio coverage of trade paperback ? Daily Express, Guardian, Telegraph, Times, etc ? including Sunday Times serialization. Huge reader response, online and in print, showed that this book struck a chord with many women readers.
