The first rule of Buzz Club: do NOT talk about Buzz Club.
Just before her seventeenth birthday, Tavi’s boyfriend dumps her. Distraught, she no longer cares for birthday cake, presents or fun. However, friends Ella and Liss ignore her tears and gift her the perfect post-breakup present: a vibrator.
Together they create Buzz Club, an exclusive group that discusses the downfall of the patriarchy, how porn can set unrealistic expectations in young people’s relationships and playing by their own rules. It’s time for the girls to take matters into their own hands.
Exhilarated, the friends question everything they used to believe and feel about their bodies, relationships and the misogynistic demands of the world they live in.
Buzz Club members stick together so when a toxic relationship sours, the dangers and manipulative behaviour involved threatens to tear everything apart. Lies, betrayal and a conniving disgruntled ex will stop at nothing to get what he wants but he didn’t count on Buzz Club, which was his first mistake.
Xena Knox’s fantastic follow-up to Sh!t Bag is an honest, funny and enlightened portrayal into relationships, sexual experimentation and everything that life throws at females in today’s society.
The dark side of coercive behaviour is sensitively handled and approached with care, as well as on-point characters who are well-meaning friends whose advice isn’t always right.
A great read for all!
