200 Monas

‘Outrageous, frenetic and playful’ Marie Claire

‘A sexy, high octane, smart AF heist novel full of jeopardy and twists and turns but also a tender, moving exploration of loss and loneliness’ Sarra Manning, The Love Library

‘Fast-paced, frenetic, sexy and heartfelt, 200 Monas is an emotionally charged roller coaster, a hot mess of a romance, and an uninhibited exploration of grief. A delightfully entertaining debut that will leave you ready for more from Jan Saenz’ Emily Adrian, Seduction Theory

‘Grabbed me by my belt loops and took me on a hell of a ride. By turns lush and biting, this is an intoxicating hometown goodbye novel with a fierce heart and chemistry that won’t quit. Written with unrelenting wit and bold sensuality, Saenz tours readers through a dreamlike Texas underworld of pain, pleasure, love and loss, exploring how trusting another person can be the headiest drug of all. I couldn’t put it down’ Emma Brodie, Songs in Ursa Major

‘Underneath the propulsive, wild action of 200 Monas lies a big, beating heart. I can’t recall reading a novel that took so much sheer pleasure in giving its reader pleasure, too. I emerged from the final page of this novel breathless, ready to follow Jan Saenz anywhere’ Daniel D’Addario, The Talent

’200 Monas is a horny fever dream that had me tearing through the pages, desperate for another hit. This high-octane nail-biter is also a deeply cathartic exploration of loss. I laughed, I cried, I did other things you probably shouldn’t put in a blurb’ Rose Dommu, Best Woman
