The Harlot Manifesto (Paperback)

A disturbing encounter with an insect propels our not-so-young heroine into a year-long expedition in promiscuity. Following a string of failed past relationships, she's finally reached a breaking point. Desperate to reclaim her womanhood and sanity, Leslieann sets out to play the "dating game" with the same vigor as her male counterparts. Navigating a 21st-century dating life and juggling mental health isn't easy. But somebody has to do it. What begins as retaliation against the entire male species quickly transforms into a lesson on acceptance and love for self. Before she knows it, all of her ideas about love, sex, and relationships are out the window! Along with them, must go decades of internalized unworthiness and low self-esteem. Will she succumb to the bondage of societal norms or emerge triumphantly with the victor's crown?
