Dark Part of Me
Belinda Burns
As the hot Brisbane summer unfurls, Rosie cannot help but lust after her exboyfriend, Scott, who has returned after two years abroad. Rosie's mum says Scott is a man, and deep down all men are rotten. But what does she know? She doesn't seem to have noticed that her teenage daughter is spiralling out of control.
Posted by markedwards (1 year ago ) There seems to be a mini wave of Australian sex-lit at the moment. This is similar to Emily Maguire's Taming the Beast, in that it's about a young woman who discovers sex - dark, intense sex - with a man who hurts her... but when he comes back into her life she can't resist.
The quality of the writing is superb. The heroine has a likeable, very real voice. It reminded me of the Britlit novels that boomed in the post-Trainspotting days. Lots of drugs and sex and young people f*cking and f*cking up their lives. Higly recommended.
