BB Easton’s bestselling 44 Chapters About 4 Men Series has been adapted into a new 8 episode TV series, SexLife, and is coming soon to Netflix!
Plus, it was the answer to a recent reader question, and come to find out, many in our book crew absolutely LOVE these books!!!
Nay: I HIGHLY recommend the 44 Chapters series by B.B. Easton if you’re looking for a coming of age series that’s full of non-stop excitement (sex, drugs, romance, fast cars, rock ‘n roll). The books are based on B.B. Easton’s life from 15 on (although she’s 15, these are NOT YA), and each book features the story of her life during the time she’s dating a different boyfriend.
They are well written and edited and are full of non-stop wild tales of a young girl who’s learning EVERYTHING about life and love (I don’t see how she made it through her junior and senior years of high school!) I LOVED book #1, Skin, and I’m almost finished with book #2, Speed, and I’m loving it just as much. Star is next and I don’t think I can stop!
Jenn: Nay-I’m totally with you on the B.B. Easton series-I’m almost done with Speed too
Nay: BB Easton, one of my favorite authors who knocked my socks off with the 44 Chapters series. …. I just wish she had more high school/college boyfriends to write about!
Julie O: Nay… I read all 4 books of B B Easton and loved them all. I will say, like you, don’t know how she survived the first boyfriend. Totally interesting though.
Sarah: soooo good!!
Britton: it is fabulous
About book #1:
School psychologists aren’t supposed to write books about sex. Doing so would be considered “unethical” and “a fireable offense.” Lucky for you, ethics was never my strong suit.
After spending years trying to spice up my sex life, I gave up and took to my journal. Perhaps my gorgeous, cold, number-crunching husband simply wasn’t capable of the kind of passion I’d come to expect. After all, my ex-boyfriends—a skinhead turned US Marine turned motorcycle club outlaw, a baby-faced punk rocker out on parole, and a heavy metal bass player—were every bit as tattooed and testosterone fueled as the leading men in my favorite romance novels. If I couldn’t have that kind of passion again in real life, I could at least write about it. Right?
Nobody had to know. It would be my little secret.
Well, guess what? My husband read that sh*t.
And guess what else? He upped his f**king game.
Drunk with power and under the dubious advisement of my best friend and colleague, I began testing the limits—crafting journal entries specifically designed to manipulate Ken’s behavior. For the most part, he responded beautifully…except when he didn’t.

I received that in my Bookworm Box!!
I am so, so excited about this Netflix deal! Anyone who hasn’t read these books needs to do so immediately. Just knowing that they’re based on BBs real life piqued my interest, but when I started reading, it was even more fun (torturous) wondering what in the world could be real and what could be fiction, and I zoomed through them. If even a quarter of it is real, she had a very colorful young adult life. Congratulations to BB Easton!! ❤️️
