This was a difficult book to read. I wish it was fictional accounts of what happened to these women. I'm a woman so I know it's factual. I'm saddened by the world we live in and the circumstances we face.

"Women shouldn't judge each others lives, if we haven't been through one another's fires."

My heart breaks for these women. I wish they would have gotten justice for what they went through. They were brave to have shared this.
This is heavy on trigger warnings so please check those out.

And teachers who should be safe spaces for their students but are instead pedophilic maniacs deserve a fate worse than death!

I am humbled by these women's bravery and disgusted by the men performing these kind of atrocities!

all i have to say is that men are awful and time and again they prove how awful they can be and often innately are. women that support awful men with the knowledge of the extent of their awfulness are just as bad if not worse.
women deserve more. women have never been given what they deserve and they deserve so much more than a man can even conceive.

Taddeo‘s writing is approachable and intensely readable. The stories she shared with us are compelling and at times humourous, uncomfortable, erotic and heartbreaking.

However much I liked the work and admire he intensity of its process of creation, I did develop a discomfort in its aim. Taddeo outlines in the prologue that she hopes to illustrate the relatability of female desire through three specific women’s experiences. However, I do question the universality of the three white women (two catholic women) as benchmarks for the universality of female sexuality and desire. On the same note, I also acknowledge that perhaps the author isn’t the person for the job of describing the sexuality of All intersectional women, however.

Ultimately, this book was so worth the read if you are to set aside the claimed of “relatability”.

One of the best books I’ve read in quite a while. Didn’t know what to expect going in, but was more than pleasantly surprised. Lisa’s writing voice is great for the topic at hand. Wish I would have read it sooner.

Crying score: teary eyed for a bit.
