Bite Me

She’s a pure girl in the dirtiest business.

Rosie Ginger is the last writer anyone would expect to cause trouble: She’s modest, dutiful, and enrolled at a strict Christian college to please her religious mother. But when she secretly submits a scandalous story to a local dirty magazine, she unexpectedly becomes its newest star—an anonymous author captivating the nation with provocative, female-driven fantasies. Because obviously America’s leading expert in desire is an eighteen-year-old who’s never even been kissed.

Caught between God-fearing life by day and edgy magazine deadlines by night, Rosie is pulled into a world of flashing lights and dangerous promises. Balancing an unbreakable friendship, a confusing attraction to the magazine’s cover model, and a sudden spark with her childhood bully, a single mistake could expose all she’s hidden. And the more secrets Rosie holds, the closer she comes to losing everything she loves.

When betrayal strikes from every direction and the entertainment industry pushes her life to the edge, Rosie learns that growing up means deciding who gets to write your story—and who doesn’t. Set in the dazzling mid-90s, Bite Me is a sharp, darkly funny coming-of-age tale about ambition, identity, and the art of turning shame into sensation.

I LOVED this book!!

I dont normally leave reviews but I have to with this story. Its so well written and really pulls you in! I will definitely be looking out for more books by this author. The religious trauma elements of this story really connected with me and the way she wrote these characters made it all so real. Shes a very talented writer and I cant wait for more! The narrator Kasi Hollowell is really what sealed the deal for me with this book. She is so insanely talented and really pulls on your heartstrings with her emotional performance. Shes so good at channeling the characters that listening to her feels like im watching a movie play out in my mind. Kasi is one of the great female narrators of our time and she doesnt get nearly the recognition she deserves! Everyone should be listening to her work! She made me laugh, cry and feel all the feelings with this book in ways I dont think would have happened by just eyeball reading the story. Kasi also has such a range of voices in her toolbox and she keeps them so distinct from each other that you are never left wondering who is talking. Her male voices are also top tier! It was a wonderful experience and I will be recommending this book to everyone!
