ABOUT THE BOOK Polly, 28, lives in London with her 'perfect-on-paper' boyfriend. She works a dead-end job on a free London paper. . . life as she knows it is dull. But her banal existence is turned upside down late one drunken night on her way home, after a chance encounter with a man on a packed tube train. The chemistry between them is electric and on impulse, they kiss, giving in to their carnal desires. But it's over in an instant, and Polly is left shell-shocked as he walks away without even telling her his name. Now obsessed with this beautiful stranger, Polly begins a frantic online search, and finally discovers more about tubing, an underground phenomenon in which total strangers set up illicit, silent, sexual meetings on busy commuter tube trains. In the process, she manages to track him down and he slowly lures her into his murky world, setting up encounters with different men via Twitter. At first she thinks she can keep it separate from the rest of her life, but things soon spiral out of control. By chance she spots him on a packed tube train with a young, pretty blonde. Seething with jealousy, she watches them together. But something isn't right and a horrific turn of events makes Polly realise not only how foolish she has been, but how much danger she is in... Can she get out before it's too late? MY REVIEW TUBING by K.A. McKeagney is a disturbing and uncomfortable read that will divide opinion but it is certainly unique and compelling in its own right. Polly has had a troubled life so far suffering from anorexia and having a very toxic relationship with her mother but on the outside, she has an ok job, and a steady relationship with Oliver, a kind, and considerate man. But there is something missing and she doesn't quite know what. So when she feels an electricity with a stranger across the carriage on the London tube she acts on it and engages in a purely sexual act in public. Polly soon discovers an undercover world known as tubing where strangers hook up on crowded tube trains for pleasure and it isn't long before Polly is caught up in this strange world. But when Polly witnesses something horrific she realises just how dangerous this dark world can be and as she digs deeper into those involved with tubing, it becomes even more terrifying ... TUBING by K.A. McKeagney is filled with unlikeable characters, including Polly, and uncomfortable situations and emotions, but it still holds your attention and makes you need to uncover the truth. As soon as I finished this book I couldn't help but ask myself is tubing real?? I really hope not!! TUBING by K.A. McKeagney is dark, disturbing and seriously messed up and will definitely appeal to thriller fans that are looking for something fresh, Be aware that there are graphic sexual scenes throughout.
