This book follows the true stories of three women, all experiencing desire. Taddeo followed many of these women for years, and I enjoyed the depth of the reporting, particularly the stories of Maggie and Lina, though I connected less to Sloane’s.
I wish more diverse perspectives had been considered and I didn’t love how the stories put women in the backseat as men manipulated their way around them. I would have liked to see some stories of women who felt confident and less secretive about their desires.

If this was presented as a close study of three women and their personal quirks, circumstances, and traumas, it would be an interesting, small-scope work. Instead, it was billed constantly as a study of female desire in its entirety. This basically spoils the whole book, as you're constantly expecting it to be something that it's not.
