Marni (wonderwmn999) | 3578 comments The group would like to welcome author Isobel Irons for a Read 4 Review of her just released book Promiscuous (is just a fancy word for Slutty) by Isobel Irons PROMISUOUS.

***Warning: Mature Content Advisory. Strong Language and Controversial Themes like Slut-Shaming, Abuse and Anorexia in this book.***

"My life might sound like a modern day Cinderella Story, but it is NOT a fairy tale."

Natasha “Tash� Bohner just turned eighteen. Theoretically, that should mean escaping from trailer park purgatory—and her less than stellar relationship with her widowed mother—and running away to Los Angeles with her anorexic best friend, Margot. But as we all know, life is known for taking some very shitty, unexpected turns. Already the scourge of the Guthrie High gossip mill, Tash’s undesirable reputation explodes into infamy when she assaults the captain of the wrestling team. (Despite the fact that he deserved it,) the principal tells her that she’s on her last strike.

Again, see: above. Re: shit happens. When Margot’s will to live is finally severed by the leader of the Guthrie Bitch Squad, Tash vows to get revenge on the most popular girl in school—no matter what it takes. Because of a promise she made to her favorite teacher (to not get expelled), Tash is forced to get creative. She realizes she’s going to have to beat the popularity-obsessed Becca Foster at her own game, by running against her for prom queen. And winning.

In order to succeed, Tash will have to do the unthinkable: she’ll have to join student government, pretend to be well-adjusted, and actually try in school. Also, she’ll have to quit swearing so goddamn much.

It’s like a fucking Cinderella story up in here. Only, it’s high school. So there aren’t any happy endings. (Just beginnings.)

PROMISCUOUS is a novel of “mature YA� / New Adult contemporary hard knocks, with a little bit of romance and a dark, yet FAR too relatable twist.

Reader Responses to PROMISCUOUS:

"I don't think I've ever felt as much rage while reading."

"I started out with a smirk, which turned into a full-on grin, then horror, then laughing, then trepidation, then disbelief."

"I like how [Isobel Irons] can creep me out and also have parts of the story that make me laugh. And then I'm sad."

"I simultaneously felt ill and severely violent towards a fictional character--which doesn't happen often. ...I want to tear [Becca Foster's] f***ing hair out by the roots and gouge her eyes out with a spork."

"Even though this isn't my usual book to pick up to read for pleasure, I'm definitely learning a few things. I think this novel will really click with a lot of people, especially the abused and bullied ones...I think this book is necessary. For them and for me."

"It's almost like reading my feelings as a teenager instead of [Tash's]."

"I feel like if I were to come face-to-face with [Isobel Irons] right now, I'd probably have to punch [her] and then buy [her] a martini."

Kindle, 247 pages
