From Great New Books..."Composed of twelve short fiction stories about human desire and want, Thirstcaptured my attention from the moment I began reading it. Ranging from a story about a professor's unquenchable thirst for young undergrad women to the enticing read of two women playing off each other in a bar to attract men, Linda Lavid's writing is sophisticated, masterful, and full of desire."

From Literary Lighthouse Reviews..."This short story collection is exquisite, exciting and a pleasurably fast read. Each story, although different in nature, point of view, and characterization, is woven to the next with the common threads of infidelity, a multitude of flaws and the ever delicious...jealousy." More Reviews.

From Reader Views..."I would recommend this book to book clubs. I think discussing which story is each person's favorite and why would be very interesting. And anybody can find the time to read "Jealousy". Especially for those who read during breakfast...Linda Lavid manages to write stories that are short and sweet, but branches out to the short and bitter, and manages to make them all short and startling."
