This was spectacular. Very raw and real. I would also recommend listening to the episode of Dua Lipa’s Service 95 podcast episode with the author. It really added to what I got from the book.

I'm just not entirely sure what the point of this was in the end. I liked the women's stories and thought they were nuanced and some complicated parts of my own experience were articulated by them. However, I feel like making this a nonfiction book and suggesting there's something in here about female desire and sexuality and patriarchy meant I was kind of expecting more reflection/engagement/analysis from the author. I appreciate presenting these women without judgement, that's fundamental and important, but it almost feels like this ends up extending to any meaningful thought about the wider implications that the book wants to be engaging with. I don't know. I liked the women's stories I was just not sure what the author wanted me to know about them and ultimately I feel let down by it.
