emotional reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

This book felt like I was sitting by these women at a coffee shop and I was eavesdropping on each of their stories. At some point you have to leave and you don't get to hear the rest of their stories or how they turned out in the end. At
times it felt uncomfortable and too personal to be reading but I related to bits of each of their lives, I felt their pain,
their joy, their longing. None of these women's stories are solved or come to a happy ending. There's not much closure at the end and while I've seen a few reviews see this as a negative, I don't. That's real life. I applaud these women for sharing their stories and I love
Lisa Taddeo's writing but this book left me feeling almost hungover and mournful. I don't want to take away from the other women's stories but I found myself rushing to get to Maggie's parts. I feel like Maggie deserves her own book.

This book was really difficult to read although Taddeo’s writing helped ease that. It being difficult was also kind of the point. However, I would like to read it again when I’m older and have more experiences in love and sex to see how that changes things.

i found the premise and motivation of the book really interesting and promising. sadly it fell short. i think that stories told were certainly insightful but i think they werent told with the intentional nuance of liberating desire. it was not at all seperated from men and patriarchal concepts of conforming to gendered ideals. however i think the story concerning aaron knodel was not at all told with the particular compassion nor understanding that it deserved, as a 17yr old when reading about a teacher student relationship with someone my age i am appalled by the inclusion of graphic depictions of the assault that took place. furthermore the internalised misogyny throughout the whole scene in court was not cool and fun or anything that should be celebrated.

im glad people felt carthasis and do not want to take that away from anyone. heal in the ways you can.
