It's Been a Pleasure, Noni Blake

by Claire Christian, Ione Butler (Read by)

Overview

A sexy Eat Pray Love meets Evvie Drake Starts Over, Claire Christian’s It’s Been a Pleasure, Noni Blake is smart, feel-good women’s fiction about learning to love yourself, in which a woman determined to own her decisions travels to Europe in the singular pursuit of pleasure—and the exes she wishes she’d been courageous enough to sleep with.

Noni didn’t expect she’d be starting over at the age of thirty six, but it’s been eighteen months since the breakup of her decade-long relationship with Joan. Now that Noni is dating again, she begins listing the women and men she has slept with—and, on a whim, starts a list of the people she wishes she’d slept with. Noni decides to revisit these people from her past and see what opportunities she’s missed out on by being too shy or scared to own her own decisions. She takes leave from her job, cashes out the settlement from selling her house, and travels to Europe on an odyssey of self-discovery and the singular pursuit of pleasure.

Editorial Reviews

"A funny, refreshing and empowering read, as well as a timely reminder to be kind to ourselves (and never miss out on that orgasm)."—Lindsey Kelk, international bestselling author of In Case You Missed It

"A vibrant story of self discovery... Noni is equally sincere and hilarious as she learns to be true to herself, and Beau’s unwavering support is sure to make readers swoon. Both a celebration of pleasure and a dissection of the restrictions people place on their own lives, this is sure to capture readers’ hearts."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
