I was more than pleasantly surprised when I read Anika Kunik's "45 ½ Lovers." What I thought would be humorous anecdotes of various relationships in one woman's life, was actually a page turner of a book. It had me laughing till I cried (really!), thinking about relationships, and wondering about the true meaning of love. Author Anika Kunik uses insight, humor and honesty to reveal, what may at first seem like a woman and her sex life, but is ultimately a book about a woman in search of an emotional connection. I finished the book a week ago and I'm still thinking about it. I highly recommend it. ~LL
A Must Read!

What a dance! Sexy, spicy, smart, funny and fabulous! I'm thrilled I had a chance to read Forty - Five ½ Lovers. It took me on such a journey. It reminded me that it's okay for sex to be flawed and funny and embrace the lessons learned. The author's direction of the book is terrific. Two thumbs up for Anika Kunik!
Life in the key of sex . . .
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
We humans are built to do three things best - feel, communicate and think. The popularity of sex has soared steadfastly over the generations precisely because it allows us to do the first two things while joyfully blocking the third. In her new book, "Forty-Five-1/2 Lovers," Anika Kunik gives us the chance to do something almost as much fun, laugh and forge a sisterhood. Among the 45.5 lovers that burst to life in Kunik's poignantly crafted tales, each of us can find a lost lover that we recognize - the actor, the classmate, the love of our life that slices our soul as he slips between our fingers. We can also find wit, wisdom and reassurance in the knowledge that we are not alone in this heady playground of adulthood. Kunik delivers a read that is immediately funny and lingeringly thought provoking. Counting sheep will never be the same again.

More than just a fun read

This book is really funny. I expected it to be entertaining (which it was!), but I was pleasantly surprised by how many times I caught myself giggling throughout the read. I also found the novel to be smart and real and honest. The book, in spite of the seemingly light topic, made me reflect upon people in my life - how people come and go and change us in small ways and make us who we are. I would definitely recommend it!
