_____________________________
Los Angeles, 1982.
Best friends Jude and Winnie are eighteen and working at a strip club. Soon they progress to modelling for Penthouse and Hustler, then to shooting hardcore porn.
Dazzled by the drugs, sex and parties their new life offers, they are also beset by sexism, bitter competition and the precarity of life on the margins. When their friendship ends in recrimination and a dramatic act of betrayal, Jude goes missing and Winnie can find no trace of her.
Thirty years later, newly divorced and down on her luck, Winnie is ready to face her past. Determined to solve the mystery of what happened to Jude, she sets out to brave the dark underbelly of the adult industry. What follows is a gutsy, propulsive look at sex and power that builds to an unforgettable revelation about love.

PRAISE FOR LOVERS XXX
'Allie's writing possesses a rare combination of deep compassion, prescient insight, and just plain coolness that I'm in awe of.' Coco Mellors, author of Blue Sisters
'Lovers XXX is Persona set in the 80s porn world - thrillingly literate; thrillingly sleazy.' Lili Anolik, author of Didion and Babitz
'You're thrown right into Lovers XXX and it doesn't stop. Allie writes about desire, survival, intimacy and exploitation with a kind of feral tenderness. She turns stick-ups, strip clubs and motel rooms into a fever dream that makes ruin look romantic. Impossible to put down!' Madeline Cash, author of Lost Lambs
'Exciting and gritty without feeling lurid, and a moving ode to the value of a female friendship. It's a knockout.' Publishers Weekly
'A propulsive and surprisingly tender novel.' Grazia
'An extraordinary, sordidly exciting, fascinating and original story . . . biting but archetypal, sleazy and uneasy, dangerous and ambitious.' Bidisha
'Smart, sad, sexy, and at times surprisingly sweet . . . it casts a humanising spell, transforming the women at its centre from mere naked flesh into something more like real flesh and blood.' Philippa Snow, author of It's Terrible the Things I Have To Do To Be Me
'Pulsing and propulsive, Lovers XXX is a fever dream and love song.' Leslie Jamison, author of Splinters

Los Angeles, 1982: best friends Jude and Winnie are eighteen and working at a strip club. Soon they progress to modelling for Penthouse and Hustler, then to shooting hardcore porn. Dazzled by the drugs, sex and parties their new life offers, they are also beset by sexism, bitter competition and the precarity of life on the margins. When their friendship ends in recrimination and a dramatic act of betrayal, Jude goes missing and Winnie can find no trace of her.
Thirty years later, newly divorced and down on her luck, Winnie is ready to face her past. Determined to solve the mystery of what happened to Jude, she sets out to brave the dark underbelly of the adult industry. What follows is a gutsy, propulsive look at sex and power that builds to an unforgettable revelation about love
A propulsive and surprisingly tender novel about two teens who find themselves drawn into the 1980s LA porn industry
Exciting and gritty without feeling lurid, and a moving ode to the value of a female friendship. It's a knockout
An extraordinary, sordidly exciting, fascinating and original story ... biting but archetypal, sleazy and uneasy, dangerous and ambitious
Allie's writing possesses a rare combination of deep compassion, prescient insight, and just plain coolness that I'm in awe of. She tackles the sticky subjects of female sexuality, objectification and desire with a smoothness that appears effortless on the page, but which I know is born from an obsessive refining of both thought and craft. She has put into words things I have felt but been unable to articulate more times than I can count
Smart, sad, sexy, and at times surprisingly sweet, Allie Rowbottom's Lovers XXX does for the stars of adult filmmaking what her previous novel Aesthetica did for cosmetically-enhanced influencers: it casts a humanising spell, transforming the women at its centre from mere naked flesh into something more like real flesh and blood. Beneath all that silicone and slickness, Rowbottom locates a warm, beating heart

You're thrown right into Lovers XXX and it doesn't stop. Allie writes about desire, survival, intimacy and exploitation with a kind of feral tenderness. She turns stick-ups, strip clubs and motel rooms into a fever dream that makes ruin look romantic. Impossible to put down!
Pulsing and propulsive, Lovers XXX is a fever dream and love song, an ode to the gritty places we find solace and sustenance and glimpses of sublimity: cold fries and canned Screwdrivers, strip malls in the heat and diners at midnight, dusk light glinting off hubcaps on the 101
