The year is 2020 and covid virus is spreading fast and everyone is on lockdown. For Rachel, it means staying in her apartment and taking care of her 3 kids on a part-time basis. She’s divorcing her husband Josh and they have joint custody. It’s also an awakening for her, she finds she’s horny as hell, not that she’s free of her husband. Her friend Lulu helps her set up on the apps and how to navigate them and she starts meeting men and women and having hot, fun sex, she never got this from her husband. Rachel decides to make a chatbox called Frankie, that will have all the qualities of the people she’s meeting and make it easier to meet people that would be desirable. She soon learns from her bot that it’s okay to be who she is and accept herself and others as they are. This is a fun, sexy (with some hot scenes) novel that looks at one woman’s reawakening of her life and figuring out who she is and what she wants. There’s some lol moments and a good supporting cast of characters. This one is not to be missed.
