I think Zia is just a woman who has a high libido, she knows what she desires and she's bold and confident enough to go for what she wants. I wouldn't call her a 'sexaholic.'

Well, the word sexaholic can be too much. But her reactions shows a very high libido, as I believe, which will be seen as either hyper-realistic or some sort of illness in an actual situation. Maybe the author wanted to make the story more juicy. But I think her libido was too much.

The author painted Zia's desire vividly. However, I'm of the opinion that calling her a "sexaholic" is too strict on her. She's just a woman with needs that needs to be met.

I found Zia to be humorous but I think she’s like sex quite a lot. However, every protagonist has that 1 characteristic that people either see as a flaw and hate it or see as necessary because the protagonist is just human. I think Zia is just human and I’m sure there are people similar to her out there. also, this particular characteristic of Zia is one of the many things that made me enjoy this book.

I wouldn't say she was a sexaholic, she just wanted to explore all that has been going through her mind. I think she is an introverted person.

I feel she was living her normal life as a strong willed independent woman. Yes,she might have been entangled and let her desires get the better of her but, I would not call her a 'sexaholic.'

Zia represents a typical woman who has her own needs and desires. She gets intimate with people she likes and I would not refer to her as a sexaholic because of that. Her high sex drive makes her a better partner, not a sex addict.

Zia has a fear of rejection and carries anxiety about rejection. She has a sexual appetite and is confident about sex but I do not think she has crossed the line of being a sexaholic yet. However, because she is so impressionable and afraid to say no, I do think she has a future of becoming one.

Liking sex or having a high libido doesn't make one a sexaholic, so Zia is no sexaholic. Besides, the initial stage of a relationship is usually steamy and sexually intense, as emotions are running high. I say Zia was caught up in her element.

I wouldn't say she's a sexaholic. Zia comes across as a confident and self-assured woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid or ashamed to live life on her own terms. She revels in her sexuality.

If she was a sexaholic, she would be having sex with multiple people. I think she developed this special connection with Baxter and when they met face to face, her libido took over after months of thinking about this man. I struggled liking her at times because of her bad choices with Baxter. She’s supposedly a very smart woman, but couldn’t see the red flags?

I think that humans crave connection with others regardless of whether they are an introvert or an extrovert. I think that in Zia's case, she wants her relationships to have meaning and have a deeper emotional impact. The way that she goes about achieving this goal is counter productive as seen in the example of getting involved in a love triangle with people who are hiding secrets.

    I don't think Zia is a sexaholic. That is too extreme a term to use on her. A sexaholic would imply someone who has sex all the time, this is not the case with Zia. However, Does she enjoy sex, yes. I think that's good. Especially with women who are attracted to their partners, it is an especially good thing. This should be encouraged instead of frowned upon.

    I won't say she is a sexaholic. She is attracted to her lover and she has a high sexual appeal. She knows what she want and she is not afraid to go for it.

    I don't think just loving sex makes her a sexaholic, it depends on how much it consumes her right? I'm sure some people love booze but they aren't alcoholics.
