Description
A New York psychiatrist holding a therapy session for rejected suitors counsels them to behave like men, not cry babies. One man takes the advice to heart and murders the woman who rejected him. Paralyzed with fear of being held responsible, the doctor watches the man take over the group, counselling them to follow his brand of manhood. A first novel.Tags

This book had me wrapped up in it from the very beginning--although it felt a bit dated, I was so drawn into the characters and plot that I had a difficult time putting it down at all, and I'm already looking forward to reading more work by Black. If you like psychological thrillers and fast-paced, character-driven writing, I'd absolutely recommend this one. The one caveat to it is that it really does have something of a 90s feel, though even now I can't entirely put my finger on why. Still, I'd certainly recommend it.
Recommended by a friend, had no clue what it was even about. I enjoyed it. Once I caught on to the twist the intensity seemed to fizzle.
Very sexually explicit. It is the kind of book that when you get to the end, you want to review it again to see if that really happened. Excellent psychological thriller. Fast read.
