What if you made yourself your number one priority?
Of all the women and men Noni Blake has pleased in her life, there’s one she’s often overlooked–herself. After the end of a decade-long relationship, Noni decides it’s time for that to change. She’s finally going to prioritize her wants and desires and only do things (and people) that feel good in the moment.As she embarks on a pleasure-seeking quest that takes her halfway around the world, she discovers that maybe she can have everything, and everyone, she’s ever wanted.
Effortlessly hilarious and relatable, Claire Christian spins a fresh, feel-good tale about starting over as a thirtysomething woman who’s been living life for everyone else. A story of self-discovery for the ages, Noni’s journey serves as a sparkling reminder that life is what we make of it–so why not enjoy it?

IT’S BEEN A PLEASURE NONI BLAKE BY CLAIRE CHRISTIAN
BOOK REVIEW
I received a copy of this book from the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.
The book has a great message: to do something for yourself, enjoy life, and don’t hold back. Its about putting one self first. And Noni definitely does that.
Noni’s journey is about finding herself after a painful breakup. It’s about finding her mojo and everything that makes her happy. Which also includes a pleasure journey to Europe. Noni is enjoying herself, not just while hooking up with multiple partners. All in all Noni’s journey is quite liberating. And funny.
Noni is such an entertaining gal, she is bisexual, has an active sex life, on and off the pages. The book is quite steamy at times. But I could actually imagine Noni just this way. Her character matches the persona I read about. She is not without flaws, and at times she behaves quite immature. Also her decision making isn’t the best. But most of all she is relatable.
I wouldn’t consider IT’S BEEN A PLEASURE NONI BLAKE a traditional romance. It’s more like a story about self discovery with an eventual romance plot. Sadly not every aspect of this book worked for me. But I think because the story has so many facets there is something for everyone. And I feel the book is perfect for anyone interested in women’s fiction. And is ok with steamier content.
Also I loved the LGBTQ representation and that Noni was a plus-sized heroine.
