Was really excited to get my hands on this collection! I appreciate the vulnerability these writers show in writing about very intimate subjects. There is also diversity in writer perspectives and how each interpreted the larger theme of "desire." As with any essay collection, there were some hits and some that didn't resonate. I don't think there is any one essay that will stick with me for an extended amount of time, but these were my standouts:
-When I Imagine the Life I Want, Larissa Pham
-Being a Dad Means Respecting the Yard, Kristen Arnett
-See What You Do to Me, Tarashea Nesbit
-The Good Girl, Sonora Jha
-There Is a Name for This, Joanna Rakoff
-The Broken Country, Molly McNully Brown
-Notes Toward a History of Desire, Merritt Tierce
