Graphic, deep, dark, comedic approach - done well

In At The Deep End by Kate Davies hits the ground running when it comes to being a wide open view of sexuality. What I liked about it is that it is immediately in your face, never mincing words, when it comes to telling the story. It is literally like, fasten your seatbelts it’s time to take off. I loved the honesty of this concept. I enjoyed reading this immensely, it was almost a guilty indulgence. The main character Julia was very real, and she is on the road to discovering herself and her sexuality. This book is not for the weak at heart, as there is indeed a lot of graphic and passionate sexual descriptions and scenes. I relate to Julia’s self-depreciating sense of humor and I did enjoy finishing this novel as it opened my eyes to an alternate universe in a sense. I kind of see where people are coming from with the Bridget Jones comparisons but I hate to see Julia made to be another character when she is clearly an individual.
