Lip Service probes the secret world of phone sex and one woman who becomes empowered by what she discovers there. Not since Erica Jong's Fear of Flying has a novel so masterfully examined the relationship between sexuality and identity.
On the surface, Julia Sterling's life seems blessed. Married to a renowned psychiatrist, living on Manhattan's tony Upper East Side, Julia deeply loves her stepson, and is forging a career as a journalist.
When a writing job at The Butterfield Institute - a sex therapy clinic - exposes her to the world of phone sex, Julia glimpses a world that stirs her erotic fantasies but threatens her
carefully constructed reality. As she explores her emotional and sexual
connections to the men she knows and several she will never meet, she confronts evil, perversity, and her own passions.
Tracing the currents of desire, illusion, and psychological manipulation,Lip Service is an astonishingly vivid glimpse into one woman's inner life. At the same time, this electrifying
thriller grips the reader as it builds toward a battering climax.

My Review...
I quite liked this book. I was unsure for the first couple of chapters but then I totally got into it and liked it alot.
It was a journey of finding one's self but in an unconventional way. Julia's husband Paul is a controlling jerk and you are so happy when she gets her head on straight and finally sees the truth of the miserable life she was living. I am not normally a fan of cheating but I was routing for Jack the whole way through.
This book was well written and kept me intrigued the whole way through.
4 Thumbs up!
