Insatiable

Critics Review

• You will be intoxicated by this witty and honest exploration of female desire

  Elle

• An escapist romp (with plenty of actual romps to boot)

  Cosmopolitan

• Extremely funny, touching and wonderfully refreshing on women and sexual desire

  Marian Keyes

• British journalist Daisy Buchanan has somehow managed to distinguish herself from the pack, with a novel that’s both smoothly observant and brilliantly, giddily filthy

  Irish Times

• As filthy as it is funny, you won’t be able to put it down

  Dolly Alderton

• Insatiable is a story about loneliness and trying to fit in, about our desire to be loved and included, how it’s easy to confuse being wanted with being used. It’ll draw people in with the shagging, but people will stay because they’re rooting for Violet.

  Evening Standard

• Filthy, funny, and raw, Insatiable is utterly addictive

  Louise O'Neill

• A piercing insight into the unreal demands modern women place on themselves and told with real humour and energy, we love this book so much

  Stylist

• I raced through this funny, filthy and utterly compelling debut about female sexuality, ambition and vulnerability… I’m still thinking about it long after turning the final page.

  Daily Mail

• A frank, funny account of 21st-century lust.

  Independent

• A raucous unravelling of female desire and bodily pleasures, in all their maddening complexity

  Emma Jane Unsworth

• Buchanan is absolutely fearless and one only hopes that there is a sequel on the way

  The Gloss

• I’d call Insatiable Jilly Cooper for the Instagram generation, but that wouldn’t do this book justice

  Lauren Bravo

• Daisy brings characters to life like no other writer, pumping them full of humour, vulnerability and sexy sexy sex

  Lucy Vine

• Few books out in the early half of the year are as flat-out entertaining as Buchanan’s fizzy, filthy story of a young woman’s sexual awakening.

  i paper

• Gloriously rude and brave about the nature of women’s desire

  Sophia Money-Coutts

• I can’t believe this is a fiction debut – she writes stories like she’s been doing it for fifty years

  Laura Jane Williams

• Insatiable is an unashamedly filthy and yet deeply sensitive exploration of female desire, aspiration and vulnerability, and Daisy is an exciting new voice in contemporary fiction.

  Hannah Beckerman

• It reminded me of Bridget Jones’s Diary – if Bridget were bisexual and Daniel Cleaver were a couple who were into group sex.

  Julie Cohen

• Erica Jong for the Instagram age.

  Keith Stuart

• Intelligent, observant prose that gives a snap-shot of life experienced by millennial women.

  Kate Sawyer

• Like going for a drink with your wisest and smuttiest friend

  Jessica Moor

• Come for the absolute filth and stay for the empathetic and sensitive way that Daisy Buchanan writes about all the chaos and conflict of being a young woman in a hard-edged, hard-faced world.

  Red

• Filthy and fun

  Bella

• Oozing with sex on every page, Buchanan’s unapologetic and multi-layered portrayal of desire sizzles in all the right places

  Heat

• Buchanan is an engaging, observant writer who portrays Violet’s chaotic life with verve and insight. When we finally get to go on a holiday again, this would be an ideal read for the sunlounger.

  Sunday Express

• Funny, filthy … Buchanan offers astute social observation, while the development of Violet as an ardent yet vulnerable heroine to root for makes her a millennial counterpart to Jilly Cooper’s Bella or Octavia.

  The Sunday Times

• The perfect summer romp

  Irish Daily Mail

• Alluring and extremely filthy … endlessly entertaining this is a shrewd commentary on ambition and young womanhood that also reads as a rollicking page-turner. You may blush. You will certainly love it.
