Absolute perfection. The honesty in these stories, and the way these women were shaped by their desire, are captured so well and without any judgement. I couldn't put it down, and I already want to read it again.

In my opinion, the prose in this book is exceptional. While the ending of this book fell a bit flat for me, I think Three Women is an important sociological examination of women's sexuality, and how the lingering shadow of sexual violence (either literal or implied) can shape the course of a woman's life within her relationships, specifically with men. Maggie's storyline was the most compelling to me, personally. A worthwhile read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of intimacy.

The stories of the 3 women were each so devastating in their own way. I’m saddest for Maggie out of all of them. Definitely still liked Animal better.

The entire time I was reading this I was debating if I liked it. At first I hated her style of writing, but as I got into the book I realized she was writing that way to try to make the reader truly feel what these women felt and I ended up thinking she did a good job of that. It lost points for me in that it showcased three white women and their desire. Yes, they were all socioeconomically different, but I felt like it was a missed opportunity. It's also pretty obvious the author is way more into Maggie's story sooooooo, part of me was like, just write that book?
Totally a toss up. I have no clue if I would full on recommend it, but if you do start to read it I recommend reading it all. I wanted to stop because I wasn't enjoying it in the first few chapters, but ultimately glad I finished it. There should be many many more books written about honest female desire so this was a good start.
