About this listen

'Clever, sexy and joyful. I loved it' BETH O'LEARY

'A fizzing roller-coaster of a rom-com. The sexiest book you'll read all year and the most heartening’ CAROLINE O'DONOGHUE

‘A very relatable take on love that will pull at your heartstrings’ RED

Bette is in love, for the first time in her life, and everything is perfect. That is, until her girlfriend Mei suggests they go on a break, so that Bette can catch-up on all the dating she missed out on in her twenties, before she came out. And it’s fine! All Bette needs to do is have lots of casual sex with lots of hot women and then she can return to Mei more ready to settle down. More experienced. What could go wrong?

But as Bette throws herself headfirst into a dating odyssey she never could have anticipated –sometimes cringingly disastrous, sometimes completely thrilling – she realises that the best things in life are those you just can’t plan for…especially when it comes to love and heartbreak.

Experienced is a sexy, witty, and heartfelt debut about figuring out what – and who – you really want.

The book felt like a real experience, in all its messiness and fun experiences. I enjoyed it a lot, easy to listen to and I finished the book in just two days. Agree with the other review, fun summer /beach listen

Lovely and real about a messy, 30-year old, newly out, people pleaser. Bette and Ruth had me rooting for them from the start.

Incredible impressive work from an author who has only published cookbooks before this debut.

Lovely and real
