Want

“I just loved reading it. It’s exceptional.” ― Fearne Cotton, Happy Place

“Want is an intriguing cabinet of curiosities showcasing the sheer glorious variety of female desire; at a time when women’s freedom of expression and agency is under threat in so many places, any platform that allows us to speak up about an aspect of our lives that is still frequently veiled in shame is to be applauded.” ― Observer

“That trajectory and sense of self is something Anderson touches on in Want, describing how throughout her life, her feelings about sex and her sexuality have not been static entities.” ― Marie Claire Australia

“An empowering project.” ― Stylist

“Extremely sexy . . . Want is the horny manifesto your TBR list will thank you for.” ― Cosmopolitan

“Every human sexual desire is finally mysterious, unknowable, but there is no doubt that across the ages women’s desire has been perceived as dangerous . . . Anderson allows those desires to speak.” ― Financial Times

“Queen of the bisexuals Gillian Anderson, aka Mother, aka the woman we all either want to be, or be with, or both – has just dropped arguably the hottest new book of the year (in more ways than one).” ― Pink News

“You might have the same question I did: Would a book loosely patterned on an erotic bestseller published 50 years ago feel relevant in an age when every manner of sexual imagery and performance, real-life hookups and kink are available in the palm of our hands (so to speak) with a swipe, tap or text? The answer is a definitive yes.” ― Washington Post

“Trailblazing . . . what makes Want even more innovative is its inclusivity, with letters from queer women, trans women and non-binary people.” ― Gay Times
