Too much sexual detail for my taste, but otherwise an extremely well-written book.

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.

1moodreader's review against another edition
The audiobook has a full cast of narration and the author reads the author's note and closing. The other three narrators are perfect and really elevate the audiobook.
The book follows Maggie, Sloane, and Lena. All three women are very different, but we see that they each deal with the oppressive nature of living in patriarchal society. The implications of their shared reality manifest differently in each woman's life (check trigger warnings!).
The book can be summed up with the following quote from one of Lena's opening chapters
Women shouldn't judge each others lives, if we haven't been through one another's fires.
