A frien put me on by giving "a fat five stars" to this interview collection with "stories across age, religion, sexuality, gender and relationship status." Darkoa crisscrosses continents and a few languages to achieve such diversity in perspective. Subjects are remarkably candid — I often marveled at the details shared. For much of the book, I thought the women were forthcoming due to friendship (many have known the author for years) but in the end, NDS explains that it's moreso because interviewees were determined to break their silence to achieve pleasure and healing. Every story comes with its own content warning to encourage prepared engagement.
Some parts felt extremely relatable, even sadly predictable: partners' jealousy, youthful naivete that gave way to self-assurance, sexual assault. Still, I was agape at some of the drama and shenanigans: cheating, boarding school trysts, cheating, repeatedly returning to Red Flag Relationships, cheating, confiscated sex toys at the airport, more cheating. I'm curious about the set of questions that guided NDS.
I did not like the audio presentation. Several narrators sound prepared for more traditional theater, and they overperform the "characters" they inhabit, which perhaps added to my sense of distance from some contributors.
