Open Me
By Lisa Locascio
288 pages;
Grove Press
Eighteen-year-old Roxana thinks Europe is where she'll find herself—and although she's not wrong, she could never have predicted the Fifty Shades direction her study abroad takes. Locascio's hypnotic first novel is thrillingly naughty and politically germane.
