Club 42: A Choose-Your-Own Erotic Fantasy

Those of us who are of a certain age remember the Choose Your Own Adventure books, these were books designed for tween and young adult readers and instead of a singular narrative offered readers a chance to determine how the story goes based on their choices every couple of pages. While the writing might not have been the greatest it allowed readers to play with different timelines, now comes a similar format but in a more erotic way. Joanna Angel has taken the format of chose your own adventures, and about the same writing ability as well as much of both books are generally formulaic writing, into the world of strip clubs, exotic dancers, and more. We control the fate of Naomi a Brooklyn hipster who has lost her job at a very hipster coffee joint and wanders into a strip joint where she performs an audition. Every few pages you control Naomi’s decisions, and the impacts that they have on not only her new career but her life. Just like the originals if a mistake a made just jump back. Thoroughly original idea, but not enough erotica compared to plot.
