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.

i was dissapointed. this book had so much potential, and it failed. it circles around three cis straight white women, who should not be at the forefront representation of «this is pleasure for women».

the way sloane would in deatil talk about her internalised fatphobia, and that she needed to be skinny, made me as a plus size person, feel disgusted with myself. 

lina starts off her part by talking about getting raped, and then you’re left with this feeling of «oh my god» because reading about rape is in no way fun or interesting. but she leaves it at that. she never brings it up again, and i was so obvious that her need for sexual attention comes from unhealed wounds.

maggie was just very complicated not gonna lie. i dont even know how to get into that.
