Comfort and Joy by David Robson

Lily is on the run in 1970s London. Confused, desperate, and unsure of herself, she breaks into the home of best-selling author Alex Comfort, whose Joy of Sex inspired a generation to embrace unbridled pleasure, seeking advice on love and intimacy. When her boyfriend Jack shows up, Lily is compelled to confront issues of selfhood and independence, and choose between what's expected of her and what she really wants out of life.
