What’s in a name

I didn’t name the book Sex and Vanity. I have to thank a family friend for that. He was 17 at the time, and we were talking about people in his age group and their obsession with Instagram and social media in general. He’s one of those rare creatures who doesn’t use social media at all. He couldn’t understand about the posting of the selfies and the posers etcetera. He said: ’It’s all about sex and vanity.’ I said: ‘You’re absolutely right, it’s so true and it’s such a great name for a novel!’
