Feeling trapped in a stale relationship, Arianna suggests to her husband that they open their marriage. When he accepts, she is faced with the realities, joys, and complications of the decision. Up for Air is the first novel in the Lost in Austin series by Christina Berry.
The protagonist in this entertaining and riveting novel needed to brace herself for the adventures she discovered in her headlong dive into sex and hedonism, and so does the reader. Although this story can be funny, frolicking, and carefree, it also explores relationships between couples, friends, and complete strangers. The excellent character development gives us an insight into Ari’s journey from a quiet, slightly naïve woman who married young to someone who casts her fears and doubts aside to embrace new experiences. Although some of those experiences could be accompanied by a warning label, if the author set out to convey the message to live life to the fullest and to follow your heart, she succeeded in spades.
It should be noted that this novel would merit an R rating for sensitive readers. For those who are less sensitive, grab a copy and enjoy!
Sublime Line: “Up for Air is a raunchy, rollicking, and thoroughly entertaining story with a heart-wrenching undercurrent of love and romance.”
