Anna is at a stage of her life when she's beginning to wonder who she really is. She has separated from her husband, her daughter is all grown up, and her mother - the only parent who raised her - is dead. Searching through her mother's belongings one day, Anna finds clues about the African father she never knew. His student diaries chronicle his involvement in radical politics in 1970s London. Anna discovers that he eventually became the president - some would say dictator - of a small nation in West Africa. And he is still alive.

Kerry Cohen is only 11 years old when she recognizes the power of her female form in the leer of a grown man. Her parents are recently divorced, and it doesn't take long before their lassitude and Kerry's desire to stand out, to be memorable in some way, combine to lead her down a path she senses she shouldn't take. Kerry wanted attention and she wanted love. Vulnerable and adrift, she turned to sex instead.

A Little Loose
Revisado: 11-06-16
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Do you remember that girl in school who went with all the boys? The loose girl, the slut, the tramp, the whore, the dirty girl. Or perhaps you were this girl. Either way, this book is written by one of these girls.
The author opens her psyche and pours it all out on the page. What comes forth is painful to listen to but important. We get to hear the about the insecurities, motives, distorted thoughts, self-destructive urges, and familial dynamics that fuel this behavior.
My biggest beef with the book is that the author displays and communicates almost no growth. She does the same behavior over and over again. At the very end she does a 360, finds love, and marries. She claims to be in recovery: I am not convinced. I was so torn on this book that I decided not to give it a rating. (less)
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book aggravated me. Just when you think the protagonist has learned her lesson she has sex with another stranger. I kept yelling at the radio from which the book was eminating. "Stop" "don't do it." "What is wrong with you." Talk about a strong reaction!!!
