Judith Croft is a respectable, middle-aged, God-fearing schoolteacher. She is also a virgin. One day, she overhears two colleagues talking about her in the staff loos. Deeply wounded by their disparaging remarks, she sets about reinventing herself but to what consequence? Her life, after meeting the equivocal yet captivating Hunter Kyloe-Pilkington, descends into debauchery, which in turn sees her questioning everything from her faith to her status as a morally upstanding pillar of the community.
A dark, brutally honest, sexually-explicit and at times hilarious tale of friendship, family, colleagues and life. Bad Habits. We all have them.

‘I thought she was dead.’
‘No. That’s Fanny Craddock.’
‘Fanny who?’
‘Never mind. I just hope it’s edible. I don’t trust my mother with tinned tomatoes at the best of times let alone mozzarella. She didn’t even know what mozzarella was until this week. She thought it was something the Pope wears. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that's a mozetta.’
