Experienced: A Novel

A fizzing, lip-chewing, collar-bone biting, palm-sweating roller-coaster of a rom-com that is both the sexiest book you'll read all year and the most heartening. --Caroline O'Donoghue, New York Times bestselling author of The Rachel Incident

A joyful, exhilarating romp of a romance! --Ashley Herring Blake, bestselling author of Iris Kelly Doesn't Date

Bette is in love for the first time in her life. Finally, everything makes sense. Until it doesn't.

As Bette approached thirty, she realized something big: she's into women. And then she fell for Mei, who's entirely perfect. Until, out of the blue, Mei suggests they take a break. She wants Bette to have the opportunity she missed out on in her twenties: to explore the queer dating scene, and then return certain about their future, her desires, and herself.

Reluctantly, Bette sets out on a mission: date hot women and have hot casual sex, before returning to her loving girlfriend. Maybe, put that way, it doesn't sound so bad...

Often heady and thrilling, occasionally cringe, Bette's odyssey will take her to some unexpected places. But with her new friend, the gorgeous and self-assured Ruth, as her queer dating guide, Bette can't possibly fail. Right?
