Real Life of an MSW

The Sisters of APF (2003, 284 pages) by Zane. Pulling this book off my pile, I had doubts. The last book by this author lacked the depth and character-building that I adore when reading. This book is another adult (erotic) novel. The protagonist, Maryann (“typical country bumpkin”), gets a full scholarship to attend law school in the big city of Washington DC. After several serendipitous encounters she ends up joining an underground organization where she can be sexually free. Once again, it’s important to note that the plot is straightforward. The focus is primarily on the sexual experiences of the characters, exploring their sexuality and indulging in wild, anonymous sexual encounters in a “sorority” titled APF, rather than complex character development or intricate storylines. While some may find the explicit content controversial, it’s undeniable that it challenges societal norms promoting autonomy and ensuring women’s well-being, while opening the door for a conversation about female sexuality.
