*Now a Passionflix original film!*
“An instant classic…highly recommended!” —Jennifer Probst, New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author
A laugh-out-loud, deliciously steamy rom-com, Wallbanger turns thin walls, sizzling chemistry, and exasperation at first sight into an irresistibly fun enemies-to-lovers romance.
When Caroline moves into her gorgeous new San Francisco apartment, she expects a fresh start—not a nightly soundtrack courtesy of her unseen neighbor’s enthusiastic love life. Thanks to paper-thin walls and Simon Parker’s impressive stamina, Caroline quickly becomes far more aware of his nocturnal adventures than she ever wanted to be. On a self-imposed dating hiatus and already frustrated, she finds herself losing sleep—and focus—as her imagination runs wild.
Determined to reclaim her sanity, Caroline finally confronts the man behind the wallbanging, only to discover that Simon is just as infuriatingly charming as he is attractive. The tension between them is instant, electric, and impossible to ignore. As irritation gives way to flirtation and chemistry explodes, Caroline realizes she may have stumbled into an entirely new definition of neighborly relations.
A delicious blend of humor, heat, and heart, this romantic comedy launches the beloved Cocktail series with a witty, steamy tale of exasperation, attraction, and unexpected love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Aiming for silly, sarcastic, witty, and hot, Clayton's clumsy contemporary, inexplicably popular in its 2012 digital edition, misses the mark and comes off as ridiculous, immature, and irritating. Caroline's first night in her new apartment is interrupted in the early hours by the moaning and thumping coming from the other side of the wall. Caroline has a great job as a designer; two best friends who are caricatures of disempowered, desperate young women obsessed with sex and drinking; and a KitchenAid mixer. Her only problem in life? "O," her missing orgasm (she named it, as she nicknames just about everything else, including her neighbor Wallbanger and his girlfriends, Spanx, Purina, and Giggler). Her quest for O involves endless attempted witticisms, text message transcriptions, and behavior so juvenile and "beyond ridiculous" that even the characters admit they sound like fourth graders.

Fantastic
Alice Clayton is a genius, this book is fab. Her writing s so funny you can hear yourself in parts of it. Have read her other two books and have the 3rd of pre-order. Would definitely recommend them all :-)
Dissapionting
First of all, I read a sample of this book & thought ye this seems to be a good read so I purchased it for €7.49, please don't buy this book for that amount, it might be worth buying it for €2.49, that's the max. It started of great, got some laughs, but overall, very disappointed, towards the end, I felt so let down by the ending. I gave two stars for the bit of laugh I did get.
