It's Been A Pleasure, Noni Blake by Claire Christian

by Books to Barbells Book Club, July 27, 2022

 



Synopsis

What if you made yourself your number one priority?

Of all the women and men Noni Blake has pleased in her life, there's one she's often overlooked—herself. After the end of a decade-long relationship, Noni decides it's time for that to change. She's finally going to prioritize her wants and desires and only do things (and people) that feel good in the moment.

As she embarks on a pleasure-seeking quest that takes her halfway around the world, she discovers that maybe she can have everything, and everyone, she's ever wanted.

Effortlessly hilarious and relatable, Claire Christian spins a fresh, feel-good tale about starting over as a thirtysomething woman who's been living life for everyone else. A story of self-discovery for the ages, Noni's journey serves as a sparkling reminder that life is what we make of it—so why not enjoy it?


REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐⭐

OMG… what a fun read this was. The message this book was giving is exactly what I tell any young woman to do. Have fun and enjoy life.
.
We meet Noni after she leaves a long term relationship. It’s been 18 months and she still hasn’t “really” moved on. When she finally decides to do something about it , she has a one night stand with a firefighter, but ultimately that leads down a tragic path. 😢
.
Late night drinks with her best friend, Lindell and his partner Graham, who I ABSOLUTELY LOVE and they get to talking about “What Ifs.” Which is a conversation I always tell people that you you never want to have yourself. You don’t want to spend the rest of your life wondering “What If?”
.
So, she takes a break from her job and sets a plan to start traveling and looking for self love. She’s meets with some interesting characters and sometimes they were not nice.
.
Body positivity, sex positivity, and honestly some of the sex scenes are hot , but you will find a great message in this read and I really enjoyed being on the journey with Noni!
