Description

Because everyone hungers for something...Food and Sex: two appetites the modern world stimulates, but also the ones we are expected to keep under control. But what happens when you don't? Embarking on an affair, lonely wife and mother Naomi blossoms sexually in a false spring while David, the fattest boy at the local comprehensive and best friend of her son, struggles to overcome bullying and the apathy of his divorced mother. David finally starts to learn about the mechanisms of appetite through a science project set by his intelligent but jaded teacher, Matthew. David's brave efforts to change himself open Matthew's eyes to his activist girlfriend's dangerous plans - to blow up VitSip, a local energy-drink company where Naomi works. At the mercy of their appetites, this exciting debut novel shows how some hungers can never be satisfied...

I really enjoyed this book. The three main characters, (David,Naomi and Matthew), were an interesting bunch. The book flowed very well and the characters were well developed. I finished this booki awhile ago, and the characters are still with me. Each charecter is dealing with something and to see how they deal with it, is one of the reasons to read this book. The other is it is just plain good!!! Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review.

Beautifully written and very original. The characters are fascinating and unforgettable.

The book is told from the perspective of three different characters. One of them I loved, the young boy struggling with his weight. One I was ambilivent about. Unfortunately the third I hated. It was told from the perspective of a woman having an affair with someone elses husband online and it was far too explicit for me. The sex scenes are completely over the top and threw off the balance in the whole book.
