Genre: Memoir

My Rating: ★★★★★
Sexually assaulted at the age of ten, Kitty shied away from intimacy until 22. “Ten Men” takes us on a journey discovering and exploring modern day casual sex and the problems she encountered along the way. Looking up to Samantha, from Sex in the City, can Kitty find her confidence and the sex without shame that she’s looking for?
“Surely promiscuous women shouldn’t have to factor in the possibility of violence”
This was a lot deeper than I was expecting it to be. Kitty explores many important and emotive issues like the problematic word of porn, dating apps, consent, love bombing, ghosting, dating apps and the misogyny surrounding sex itself. She really got me thinking about some of my own experiences. It made me laugh, it made me cry. A very thought provoking read.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Icon Books for my advanced copy.
