Never Felt So Good tells the story of six Italian women living in Paris who come together for a lively dinner party. As the evening unfolds, they engage in a mix of raucous storytelling, intimate confessions, and deep reflections. The gathering becomes a space for both unexpected revelations and painful betrayals, ultimately highlighting the strength and solidarity among women.

Rossana Campo skillfully weaves together elements of both pop and high culture in this vibrant polyphonic novel. Her use of colloquial language challenges traditional literary norms, offering a fresh and dynamic reading experience. The narrative defies genre expectations, celebrating the raw and untamed nature of oral storytelling. Through this approach, Campo breathes life into the characters and their experiences, making their voices resonate powerfully.

With its bawdy humor and exuberant tone, Never Felt So Good presents an ironic yet insightful exploration of female sexuality and friendship. The overlapping narratives create a rich tapestry of perspectives, showcasing the complexities of women's relationships. This book serves as a symposium of sorts, inviting readers to engage with the myriad ways women connect, support, and sometimes betray one another, all while reveling in the joys and challenges of their shared experiences.
