Congratulations to Mary Newnham as her debut novel, Amy Elman Doesn’t Feel Sexy is published today by Hodder & Stoughton. 

Amy has her entire life planned out: marry her fiancé Josh, move out of their London flat and live happily ever after in the countryside.

There’s just one problem – Amy and Josh haven’t had sex in 180 days. She’s counted.

So when Josh’s family decide to throw them a surprise wedding, Amy scrambles to cross everything off her to-do list… including Josh.

With the help of a glass of red wine (or two), Amy steps out of her star-patterned pyjamas and into a world of too-tight lingerie and sex-positive affirmations.

As the big day approaches, will Amy’s luck finally turn around? Will her and Josh be one of those couples who just never have sex? Or will she start to realise that love isn’t something that can be checked off a list so easily?

‘So fresh and funny – be prepared for some spurting-out-your-coffee moments!’ Fiona Gibson 

Amy Elman Doesn’t Feel Sexy is out now in paperback, ebook and audiobook.
