I've changed the rating of this book a few times - I appreciate its role exploring *true stories* of desire; but as a novel-like book falls flat for me, with some of the explicit sexual scenes going for too long and some other important/interesting aspects of the stories being ignored or brushed off way too quickly. The creative writing is great but all those years of immersive research leading to just this compilation feel a bit disappointing. 
 
It's certainly thought-inducing and although I enjoy the mixed order of the stories, I feel the whole structure lacks intention. Why were the stories told in that order? Is there something truly connecting them? (other than the very obvious "sex stories told by women"). I feel the author fails in giving strong answers to that which overall made the book less enjoyable for me. Some themes will stay with me for a long time but only because of their importance, not because the author threaded them particularly well.
