Definitely different than what I usually read but it was fun. Looking forward to more books from this author

Convoluted and repetitive, The Sex Tourist is told from alternating points of view and oddly used second person narrative. It takes an interesting blurb and turns it into a meandering menagerie of every element of fiction, i.e. chick-lit, erotica, mystery, and romance. Unfortunately, it does not succeed. The exposition is obvious and explained numerous times by multiple characters. While the characters are sympathetic, the narrative is emotionless and unappealing. The mystery surrounding the sisters is implausible and rife with coincidence. I think there is a worthwhile story there, but to have to dig through the lackluster plot and unbelievable circumstances is not worth the trouble.

I want to thank Olivia Wild and Netgalley for giving me this book for my honest review.
Review By Stephanie
This is the first book I have read from Olivia Wild and I have to say this was a good book. I was a little confused with the different POVs and the time frame jumping in the beginning but once I got into a reading grove I was able to follow along nicely.
In this graphic tale about this prostitution industry you will get the full view of what it is truly like. I mean you will get the FULL view… hahaha Olivia Wild head nothing back in this book! The thing that really blew me away with this book was the important message within the sexy thriller. I wanted to devour this book but I really forced myself to take my time and really read and absorb every word.
So grab a blanket, coffee/wine and your kindle and start reading The Sex Tourist.
