Very weird that this book was marketed as a book about women’s sexual desire! It’s more about surviving rape, and being coerced into sexual situations these women actually didn’t enjoy, being manipulated and controlled, and the way women’s sexuality is turned against them. I liked the book itself but it’s pretty messed up that it’s framed as about desire, like what was the goal with that? And just by nature of it being only about three women, it can’t even come close to encapsulating women’s sexualities and desires so idk!

This was not an easy read. I would not go as far as to say that this book triggered me but it was difficult to get through and yet I could not put it down. This is a book that made me think about womanhood as not a prison but as a liminal space. “Three Women” has a limited scope - it primarily focuses on white women and their relationships with men. There are fragments about their relationships (or lack thereof) with other women woven into the narratives of the book, but as a reader I wanted so much more of that. I found myself wanting to know less about the men that they loved and more about the women that the titular three women had been betrayed by. I think that could have spoken volumes about female desires.

Overall - I enjoyed the book. It made me think. It made me want to ask questions.
