The writing style(s) of this book are so interesting, and I was really hooked on everyone's stories. And goddammit was I full of rage at the North Dakota one. I think what works really well in this book is that you may start it thinking that you wouldn't have anything in common with the three women, but as you dig deeper, you feel like they're speaking part of you. We all desire and usually, we're blocked and hurt. I'll be thinking for a long time about the advice that Ms. Taddeo's mother gave her in the last portion of the book. I think she's right, and that sucks.

Ugh, I LOVED this. A beautifully lyrical, very moving, intimate and often times haunting story about three. American women's relationships to sex, self realisation, desire, and transgression.

Lina is unloved by her husband but has taken up sex with her high school sweetheart, Maggie takes her teacher to trial for an inappropriate relationship, and former rich girl Sloane loves cucking her husband as he watches...

Completely absorbing, bewitching, moving accounts of womanhood, I can already feel this one will stay with me.
