1.0

This book was such a missed oppurtunity. I thought Taddeo was going to use the stories of three women in America as a backdrop to the psychology of desire and how that presents in our patriarchal society, offering analysis and commentary on women's desires. Instead it was just a retelling of three women's sex lives- one of which is a girl who was sexually abused and manipulated by her high school teacher and I do not how I feel about that being included in a story of 'desire'.

If Taddeo took the time to seek out experts, psychologist, or sociologist, to give commentary and analysis would have elevated allowing the reader to gain knowledge about the psychology of desire rather than just stories of other peoples sex lives. For example, if Taddeo brought in a psychologist the specializes in sexual assault or post-traumatic stress disorder to talk about how the trauma of being a victim of pedophilia can echo throughout ones life and the effects in has on desire later in life would have added more substance to the book.
