I feel like I need to state that, Im aware that these types of books (sexy books) are not everyones choice of book. I also know that many feminists out there HATE these types of books. Well... I LOVE these types of books! 

Faking it is not ronchi book. In fact the way that Elisa writes Andi is awesome! Andi starts off as a woman with zero self confidence, she is miserable and stuck in her sad life. When she meets Devin, she just wants to become a better woman. Who are we to say that a woman who wants to learn how to please a man in bed is any less of a woman than your church going neighbor. All im saying is, I think that Elisa wrote a book about a women learning to love herself and any partner she may have in her life.

The story between Andi and Devin is so sexy and readable. Devin is exactly the type of man I want to read about in these types of stories, he's not just meat. He also has a brain. 

I cant wait to get my hands on the next book and find out what Andi is into these days.

After breaking off her engagement, thirty-something writing professor Andi Cutrone abandons New England for her native Long Island to focus on her career and start over. When she meets Devin at a cocktail party, the sight of an honest-to-goodness male escort shocks her—and fascinates her more than a little. Months later, Andi impulsively calls Devin. Over cheesecake in Brooklyn, she offers him a proposition: he will teach her how to be a better lover, and in return, she will give him writing lessons. He agrees, and together they embark upon an intense partnership that proves to be as instructive as it is arousing. For in the midst of lessons in rhetorical theory and foreplay, Andi and Devin delve into deeper questions about truth, beauty, and self, gradually coming face-to-face with the issues at the core of their emotional limitations. Smart, witty, and introspective, Faking It is an engrossing novel about two people discovering their authentic selves. Elisa Lorello is the author of Ordinary World, a sequel to Faking It, and coauthor (with Sarah Girrell) of Why I Love Singlehood. She lives in North Carolina.
