This book was just not for me and I stopped reading a little over halfway through. The book ends up reading very much like a sex diary. And with the affairs and pedophilic relationships described in detail, I could no longer listen. I understand the point of bringing certain emotions and info to light, but it was not easy for me to digest that info.

Justice for Maggie!

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

4.5

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.
