A must read for all! This was a soul-soothing book for me. I hope those who read this may discover and reconnect with the wild woman in them. 💫

I CANNOT believe this book has such good reviews. It's sooooo boring. I was pulling teeth and nails to read this thing and it was only because it was our bookclub pick of the month. I wanted to like the story so bad; something about a part of women being wild and free sounds so beautiful. However I feel like the author just took their thesis essay and published it, added a few words for length, and told the world "go ahead, happy reading!"
I will not be picking up any more nonfiction books until probably April of this year😅

A blend of psychology, mythology, and folklore that explores the instinctual and wild nature of women.

What did I just read?
This was nothing like what I expected.

One of my biggest issues is the complete lack of flow, it felt like a one-sided conversation with someone who loves the sound of their own voice but struggles with:
a) having a point,
b) getting to the point, and
c) expressing that point clearly.

I did agree with some points, and there were moments of profound insight, but then it would slowly slip back into an endless parade of animal comparisons and overly abstract metaphors.
Just when it felt like it was building toward something meaningful, it would lose focus again.
