When Sarah falls for Matthew, she falls hard.
So it doesn't matter that he's twenty years older. That he sees her only in secret. That, slowly but surely, she's sacrificing everything else in her life to be with him.
Sarah's friends are worried. Her father can't understand how she could allow herself to be used like this. And she's on the verge of losing her job.
But Sarah can't help it. She is addicted to being desired by Matthew.
And love is supposed to hurt.
Isn't it?

Deep beneath the sea, off the cold Irish coast, Gaia is a young mermaid who dreams of freedom from her controlling father. On her first swim to the surface, she is drawn towards a human boy. She longs to join his carefree world, but how much will she have to sacrifice? What will it take for the little mermaid to find her voice? Hans Christian Andersen's original fairy tale is reimagined through a searing feminist lens, with the stunning, scalpel-sharp writing and world building that has won Louise her legions of devoted fans. A book with the darkest of undercurrents, full of rage and rallying cries: storytelling at its most spellbinding.

Väikeses Iiri linnakeses on alanud suvi. Emma O’Donovan on saanud äsja 18-aastaseks, ta on piltilus ja enesekindel. Ühel õhtul peavad linnakese noored pidu. Kõik on kohal. Kõigi pilgud on Emmal. Järgmisel hommikul ärkab tüdruk kodumaja verandal. Ta ei mäleta midagi eelnenud ööst ega tea, miks kogu ta keha niimoodi valutab. Küll aga teab seda kogu ülejäänud linn.
Peol tehtud fotodelt on üksikasjalikult näha, mis Emmaga juhtus. Mõnikord ei ole aga inimesed valmis oma silmi uskuma. Eriti siis, kui karm tõde käib linnakese kangelaste kohta.
Iiri kirjaniku Louise O’Neilli (snd 1985) raamatud on väärt kogu seda kära, mis nende ilmumisega on kaasas käinud. Juba tema esimene romaan „Only Ever Yours“ (2014) pani kirjandusringkonnad kihama ja noored lugejad ülevoolavaid fännikirju saatma. Samasugune kõrgendatud tähelepanu on saatnud ka „Sai mis tahtis“ ilmumist, mida Goodreadsi lugejad on hinnanud hindega 4,1.
O’Neill vaatleb halastamatult ausalt, kust jookseb piir vägistamise ja vastastikusel nõusolekul toimuva vahekorra vahel ja kuidas toimib ohvri häbistamine nutitelefonide ajastul.

It's the beginning of the summer in a small town in Ireland. Emma O'Donovan is eighteen years old, beautiful, happy, confident.
One night, there's a party. Everyone is there. All eyes are on Emma.
The next morning, she wakes on the front porch of her house. She can't remember what happened, she doesn't know how she got there.
She doesn't know why she's in pain.
But everyone else does. Photographs taken at the party show, in explicit detail, what happened to Emma that night.
But sometimes people don't want to believe what is right in front of them, especially when the truth concerns the town's heroes . . .
