�Having affairs with a husband and a wife was terribly inconvenient.' �When we meet Andre he's a blank slate: a freshly minted 24-year-old college grad on his first day of work at a Manhattan-based investment bank...Within days he's seriously boffing the sensuous Nathan, his boss's boss, and has been seduced by the elegant Sybil, Nathan's young wife. Before long he's halfheartedly sleeping with the frumpy office secretary, Martha (eventually getting her pregnant). Along the way he reconnects with levelheaded Madhu, the Indian woman he dated and nearly married in college. In the end, there's more going on here than a simple, thoroughly enjoyable sex farce. Dawesar has created an intricate, often hilarious story with swift, crisp prose and clean, short sentences which deliver steamy sex scenes, tender family moments, and passages of reflective introspection with equally engaging directness. It's an expressive, impressive debut.' -Planetout.com �Bisexuality, infidelity, fidelity, love, passion, deception, death, ambition-all of these and so much more are packed into...this breeze-to-read, funny and serious-as-hell novel. A damn fine read.' -AVN �(The Three of Us) is not what you would expect from a young South Asian woman. (Dawesar) has made her debut from the perspective of a white male investment banker exploring his sexuality. With detail and sensitivity, she describes a lifestyle not typically discussed in the South Asian novel.' -Masala!.com �What Dawesar has created here is a story which shrewdly explores sexual dependency. It is an adventurous read.' -Instinct
