Justice for Maggie!

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

Lisa Taddeo follows three women's lives in an effort to unmask women's desires. 

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.

Definitely found myself following one story more than the other two. I loved this book, but did find the ending dissatisfying (I know it’s  about real women and lives, but the final chapters could’ve had more of a punch in the way it was written for me).

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.
