Like Me

By Emmi-Liia Sjöholm

In her ravishing autofictional debut, author Emmi-Liia Sjöholm writes about her life, sex, the need to please others, love, lust and desire. The story resonates on many levels, and the book is a brutally honest description of real life where one’s past is always present in searching for a woman’s place in the world.
