What they need — and what they’re terrified of — is liberation from the cages they’ve built for themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlfie’s Roy Kent-inspired voice is a triumph — and very, very funny — but sex is where Stein really shines. This, children, is how the professionals do it. Not a rote list of parts and positions, but a physical flow between two people. It’s the difference between seeing choreography laid out in footprints on the floor, and being swept away by the dance.\u003c\/p\u003e * New York Times book review *","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406687150423,"sku":"9781035038121","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781035038121.jpg?v=1730496770","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/when-grumpy-met-sunshine-9781035038121","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
