Very interesting stories. It’s almost hard to believe it’s all true. I loved the themes of the book and how the writing brought them to life without being boring.

Very captivating, although by the end I was mostly only invested in one of the three stories. Every woman can relate to something in this book whether they've lived it or witnessed it. Fair warning: lotsa smut

ALSO if you're into audiobooks this is a good one- different narrators for each woman and their expressions are very fitting for the parts

2.5

The concept of this book had initially really intrigued me and I was excited to read. However the reality of it's content left a lot to be desired. 
The objective of this book is to create authentic naratives around female desire and pleasure, however the author fails to reflect on the abusive nature of the relationships. 
Instead much of the text recounts scenarios where the men are often glorified and worshiped without any substantial critical analysis of power dynamics and sexual trauma. Any unpicking of these themes comes too little too late.
