reflective sad medium-paced

2.5

I'm disappointed because the description left me wanting more than what I'd read. Actual representation of the diversity of women's desire. Much more of a focus on trauma, not much analysis or commentary? No sense of closure or reflection on the parts of the main women?

It was a hard read through countless moments. Even if some of the characters were questionable or unlikable actions there were points where I personally identified with each one or have known a women to confide in varying action. It did leave me wanting more but I know they're still living their lives so you're not going to get a neatly finished story. I did want answers on how they resolved though.

emotional sad tense slow-paced

Very well written, retelling the accounts of women’s experiences with love, sexuality and shame. The book manages to give its reader a very personal view of these literal third person stories.

Not what I expected from the forward. I'm very curious about the writing of this one and want to look up more info. Incredibly sad and frustrated for all the women. Violently angry for Maggie. All of them, really, but especially angry for Maggie.

2.0

The three women who shared their experiences were very brave to do so, but I do not believe that the author did their stories justice. This book was just sad and it spoke more to the abuse women suffer under the power of men and less on women’s desires themselves.

adventurous emotional mysterious medium-paced

3.5

I found Lina and Maggie's stories compelling but there wasn't enough time for Sloane's story. Her story felt the weakest and the least fleshed out. There was also a twist that has to do with the relationship between her and her brother but it was completely sudden. There was no foreshadowing or leading to that particular conclusion. Lina didn't really get a proper ending compared to the other two stories, but the book was so easy to get into.
