Product Description

Review

'Sharp, witty and unnervingly streetwise, Wyllie is a name you're going to hear more of' --Carol Clewlow, Author - A Woman's Guide to Adultery

'A sharp and stunning debut. Taut prose, original voice, visuals that crackle and shock. Wyllie trips the reader into a foreboding world where sex sells and friendships are dubious.' --Caroline Smailes, Author - In Search of Adam


Product Description

'I'm every woman they have ever dreamt of. I'll do anything - I'll do things they didn't even know they wanted'. Tiggy's stuck in a rut - trapped in a half-life as a stripper at a Mayfair club, surviving on dope and vodka, and desperate for her married lover to leave his wife. Scarlett is different - she's more confident, stunningly beautiful, and willing to do absolutely anything to get exactly what she wants. Tiggy is intoxicated by the enigmatic Scarlett, following her into an arousing world of sex and excitement. But Scarlett has her own agenda, and she doesn't do anything for free. Sooner or later Tiggy's going to have to pay. Evocatively set in the summer of 1991, 'Everything You Ever Wanted' is a smart and gritty tale of two young women's colourful adventures in a London sex industry where money talks, and boundaries are there to be broken.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brutally amazing first novel, 29 Nov 2008
By Martin Turner "Martin Turner" (Marlcliff, Warwickshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
For a first novel, this is pretty amazing stuff. But it's not about what you might think it is if you read the publisher's blurb, and it gets very gritty and nasty before it all finally resolves.

On the surface, this is a book about two girls on the softish end of the London sex industry. But that's just the context, and, after some moderately graphic opening stuff, Everything You Ever Wanted settles down to not being about that at all.

Fundamentally, it's an exploration of self-obsession and self-deception. One of the characters appears to wake up to who she really is earlier than the other, but this is a book which turns and turns about not only in its plot, but also in character self-awareness.

What lifts this book from the mundane run of gritty first novels is some brilliant word-work which comes out not in evocative description, but in acres of punchy, exciting dialogue, retold by one character or by the other. There isn't a word in this book which is out of place, and there isn't a moment where the illusion that these are real people in a real world evaporates.

I was determined not to like this book when I started it, and determined not to agree with it on any level. I've now completely changed my mind.

Aside from a very slight slackening off at the end, and the sliver of an over-neat resolution, this is about as good as first novels get.

Good for you, Rosalind Wyllie, this is brutal, but amazing, and great reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't start reading unless you have a couple of days free!, 25 Aug 2008
By B (Geordie Watcher) (North East England) - See all my reviews
The year is 1991 and that bloomin' Bryan Adams song is everywhere. Tiggy and Scarlett are working at a Mayfair hostess club. They have very different reasons and very different motivations for being there, but when their paths cross, the results are unexpected for both of them.

I could not put this book down. The story races along from the first page, pulling the reader breathlessly with it. I zipped through the book in a couple of days and when I finished I wished I could start again. Be warned - try not to start when you have something urgent you need to be doing!

This may be Rosalind Wyllie's first novel, but she is good. Very good. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp, witty, funny and very moving. , 13 Aug 2008
By Z. Prado (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I enjoyed it very much. It is fast paced, with very rich and vivid images that conjure up the two main characters' sharply contrasting universes as they come together and collide with shattering consequences while each of them tries to make sense and deal with an apparently loveless world. Very good.
