"A fizzing, lip-chewing, collar-bone biting, palm-sweating roller-coaster of a rom-com that is both the sexiest book you’ll read all year and the most heartening. A big, kind, horny love-in that will embolden readers to get some more experience of their own."
—Caroline O’Donoghue, New York Times bestselling author of The Rachel Incident
"A joyful, exhilarating romp of a romance! Experienced reminds us all that sometimes, the best of life—and love—is found where you least expect it. A beautiful celebration of love and identity."
—Ashley Herring Blake, bestselling author of Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date
"Clever, sexy and joyful, Experienced is filled with characters who quickly feel like old friends. A stunner of a debut novel—I loved it."
—Beth O'Leary, international bestselling author of The Wake-Up Call
"Experienced is fun, sexy and smart. Kate Young’s take on dating, relationships and learning about your own queerness is wonderfully astute, her characters are warm and recognizable and importantly, deeply fanciable. I loved it."
—Laura Kay, author of Wild Things
"Warm, witty and charming, the perfect addition to the 'rom com' canon."
—Shedoesthecity
"Simultaneously steamy, swoon-worthy and sweet, Experienced is also very relatable in many way...In addition to an ensemble of witty, lovable side characters and hilariously British banter, the novel definitely excels in drawing a laugh. A hilariously chaotic insight into modern dating culture, Experienced is an ode to the beauty of queer love stories.
—Chicago Review of Books
"A wholehearted, fun exploration of dating and love in the 21st century. . . . Young's charming British English pairs with a young millennial's quirky, anxious interiority for a fun, surprisingly profound read."

—The Washington Post
"This is the sexy, slow-burn queer love story we've been waiting for.... Delightful through and through . . .

—Booklist (starred review)
"Young's exuberant debut novel follows the bumbling erotic adventures of a newly out lesbian.... Hilarity, secondhand embarassment, and some sensual love scenes follow."
