What to expect
One tiny pill.
The promise of a mind-blowing orgasm.
Are you coming?
What if there was a pill that gave you the most intense sexual release of your life – would you take it?
On the brink of graduation, Arvy Keening is ready for her life to begin. The problem? She just found 200 pills in her recently-deceased mother’s closet.
When two drug dealers come to collect, they reveal that the pills are Monas – a rare pharmaceutical that induces life-changing orgasms. Arvy gets an ultimatum: sell 200 Monas in 48 hours or die.
After recruiting Wolf, a (devastatingly hot) local dealer, Arvy and Wolf barrel through town, appealing to horny students, lonely barflies, and a mysterious sorority, all the while Arvy tries to repress a maelstrom of grief that’s welling up inside.
Can Arvy and Wolf sell the drugs and save Arvy’s life? Or will the Monas rock Arvy to her core in more ways than one?

'Grabbed me by my belt loops and took me on a hell of a ride. By turns lush and biting, this is an intoxicating hometown goodbye novel with a fierce heart and chemistry that won’t quit. Written with unrelenting wit and bold sensuality, Saenz tours readers through a dreamlike Texas underworld of pain, pleasure, love and loss, exploring how trusting another person can be the headiest drug of all. I couldn’t put it down’ Emma Brodie, Songs in Ursa Major

'Underneath the propulsive, wild action of 200 Monas lies a big, beating heart. I can’t recall reading a novel that took so much sheer pleasure in giving its reader pleasure, too.

'200 Monas is a horny fever dream that had me tearing through the pages, desperate for another hit. This high-octane nail-biter is also a deeply cathartic exploration of loss. I laughed, I cried, I did other things you probably shouldn’t put in a blurb' Rose Dommu, Best Woman
