Wallbanger
By Alice Clayton
Publisher: Simon and Schuster Australia
The first night after Caroline moves into her fantastic
new San Francisco apartment, she realizes she’s gaining an- um- intimate
knowledge of her new neighbour’s nocturnal adventures. Thanks to paper-thin
walls and the guy’s athletic prowess, she can hear not just his bed banging
against the wall but the ecstatic response of what seems (as loud night after
loud night goes by) like an endless parade of women. And since Caroline is
currently on a self-imposed “dating hiatus,” and her neighbour is clearly lethally
attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than
the noise.
So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her
out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie,
confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbour. The tension between
them is as thick as the walls are thin, and the results just as mixed.
Suddenly, Caroline is finding she may have discovered a whole new definition of
neighbourly…
My review
Wallbanger is a fantastically, light, funny read that has
you from the first paragraph:
“Oh,
God.”
Thump.
“Oh,
God.”
Thump thump.
What the…
“Oh,
God, that’s so good!”
Caroline
has just moved and is awoken by her neighbours sexual antics her first night.
What follows is many more nights being woken up by neighbours different
partners and she gives each one a name: Spanks (the girl who likes to get
spanked), the Russian Purina (she meow’s while having sex) and Giggler (giggles
while having sex). When sick of not only being woken up but from hearing all of
her neighbours sexual adventures, Caroline decides to go over and confront her
naughty neighbour. What follows is an adventure that follows them both getting
to know each other and ultimately falling for each other.
Seriously
this book had me laughing so hard in spots, mainly when Caroline’s cat, Clive
and Purina were involved:
‘“Meow.”
I
cocked my head sideways, listening more intently. I studied Clive, who looked
back as if to say, “T’weren’t me.”
“Meow!
Oh, God. Me-yow!”
The girl
next door was meowing. What in the world was my neighbour packing to make that
happen?
Clive,
at this point, went utterly bonkers and launched himself at the wall. He was
literally climbing it, trying to get to where the noise was coming from and
adding his own meows to the chorus.
“Oooh
yes, just like that, Simon… Mmmm… meow, meow, meow!”
Sweet
Lord, there were out-of-control pussies on both sides of this wall tonight.’
It
is really a fantastic read that I would recommend to anyone who is loving the New
Adult genre like I am.
4/5
