Experienced

Bette is in love, for the first time in her life, and everything is perfect.

That is, until her girlfriend Mei suggests they go on a break, so that Bette can catch-up on all the dating she missed out on in her twenties, before she came out. And it’s fine! All Bette needs to do is have lots of casual sex with lots of hot women and then she can return to Mei more ready to settle down. More experienced.

What could go wrong? But as Bette throws herself headfirst into a dating odyssey she never could have anticipated –sometimes cringingly disastrous, sometimes completely thrilling – she realises that the best things in life are those you just can’t plan for…especially when it comes to love and heartbreak. Experienced is a sexy, witty, and heartfelt debut about figuring out what – and who – you really want.

Simultaneously steamy, swoon-worthy, and sweet. A hilariously chaotic insight into modern dating culture, Experienced is an ode to the beauty of queer love stories. – The Chicago Review of Books
