In writing the two main characters in Raw…Twitch, the hero, and Alexa (Lexi), the heroine, this author turned some of the above ideas on their side and upside down. Let’s just say I wasn’t “team-Twitch” through a lot of those moments (and really struggled with her acceptance of it, even though I usually really enjoy a good D/s love story).

Before The Testaments, there was The Handmaid’s Tale: an instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” ( New York Times).

Once a man who always had a smile on his face, his life takes a turn for the worst when a tragedy befalls him, leaving him scarred and broken. Theirs is not quite a “hearts and flowers”romantic love story, but a love story nonetheless told to us in alternating first person POVs. At once a memoir, a meditation, a treatise, and a history, it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living. From sun-baked pizzas, satisfying sandwiches, vegan sushi, the best burritos and sprouted-rice dishes, to sangria and shakes, cookies, pudding, and pies. Fight Club is the invention of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter, and dark, anarchic genius, and it's only the beginning of his plans for revenge on a world where cancer support groups have the corner on human warmth.I won't deny that I would love more of Twitch and Lexi , I don't think I could ever get tired of reading about this man and I really think there could be so much more to tell.
