Reviews
Such a raw, funny, visceral and heartbreaking book... A brilliantly original book that pulls zero punches
An honest, horny, and unfiltered look at sex and relationships, [I'm F*cking Amazing] has a narrator you'll fall in love with and a zingingly fresh, gossipy voice that's completely addictive. Reading it is probably the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
Frank, heartbreaking, clever and funny... a tender and soulful debut
A viscerally vulnerable, raw and relatable, intensely intimate novel for our times. Genuinely new, bold and fascinating. Anoushka Warden is a true talent and a real artist.
Unlike anything I've ever read before-laugh-out-loud funny, brutally honest... I loved every minute of it
[Warden's] novel about a woman who unapologetically wants to live by her own rules feels really radical. The woman's fight against a world that wants to contain her is often very funny, sometimes painful, and highly unique. Her writing about sex is among the most daring I've read, centring female desire and sexuality while never being scared of embracing its messiness
Gasp-out-loud filthy
There is a fantastically compulsive quality to Anoushka Warden's writing and her fictional world, as shockingly funny as it is tender and revealing about love, relationships, sex and womanhood. It is not only a book that speaks to so many young women today but also a candid, fun and moving read

An exposed nerve of a novel boldly and hilariously getting deeply honest about modern love, sex and relationships. Warden's protagonist is a woman after my own heart.
