Wow, the writings is so honest and bold for a memoir type.

'Getting Off' is Erica Garza's rather raw - and at times painfully honest - account of her years long battle with sex addiction. An affliction which is seldom spoken about, and more so associated with males, it's great to see such a taboo subject talked about with such overwhelming honesty.

Garza's writing takes you on the journey with her, her anecdotes and accounts of situations succinct and snappy and bereft of unnecessary detail, which some auto-biographical accounts can get caught up in. I whizzed through this book in no more than a couple of hours, so fascinated was I by the topic itself, complemented by Garza's brilliant writing style. As you might expect from the subject matter is is certainly x-rated in places and so not suited for the most prudish readers amongst us, but is an eye-opening and fascinating read.
