Neurotica

Anna Shapiro's husband has been a hypochondriac for longer than she cares to remember. Now Dan is even frightened to make love, in case the strain gives him a heart attack. Anna is determined to find some fun soon - not to mention some decent sex.

Then a sensational new book comes out, suggesting that women are just as capable as men of having affairs purely for sexual pleasure. Could sex be like going for a facial, except you get an orgasm instead of your blackheads squeezed? There's only one way to find out. Anna - a thirty-seven-year-old mother of two in desperate need of a tummy tuck, breast lift and open pore surgery - is about to spend the next few weeks committing adultery for the pure joy of it - and with hilarious results.

But there's a catch. Anna still loves her husband. And by setting out on her lone quest, she's putting her marriage at risk....
