* A Finalist for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction * One of Autostraddle 's Best Queer Books of 2019 * A deliciously disarming debut novel about a twenty-something Londoner who discovers that she may have been looking for love--and pleasure--in all the wrong places (i.

, from men).

Julia has had enough.

Enough of the sex noises her roommate makes.

Enough of her dead-end government job.

Enough of the one-night stand who accused her of breaking his penis.

The only thing she hasn't had enough of is orgasms; she hasn't had proper sex in three years.

So when Julia gets invited to a warehouse party in a part of town where trendy people who have lots of sex go on a Friday night, she readily accepts.

And that night she meets someone: a figurative artist who also happens to be a woman.

Julia's sexual awakening begins; her new lesbian life is exhilarating.

She finds her tribe at queer swing-dancing classes, and guided by her new lover Sam, she soon discovers London's gay bars and BDSM clubs--and the complexities of polyamory.

Soon it becomes clear that Sam needs to call the shots, and Julia's newfound liberation comes to bear a suspicious resemblance to entrapment .

In at the Deep End is an unforgettable and audacious odyssey through the pitfalls and seductions we encounter on the treacherous path to love and self.
