This book was seriously oversold, but I'm glad so many women found it transformative. I certainly learned new things, and perhaps my sex life will be impacted positively, but transformed? Naw. I think I would have liked this book more if Nagoski had gone a little deeper into explaining the science before offering her own interpretation or narrative. I'm really great with concrete examples, less great with long extended metaphors. Ah well.

4.5 stars. This book actually took me two years to complete- which has much less to do with the quality or content of the book than the fact that even if I’m engaged, I almost never pick up non-fiction to read. But every time I sat down to read, I found passages worth highlighting. Determined to make headway, I picked up from page 109 yesterday and completed it (p 324) tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed and learned from this book and only wish I would have had it 20 years ago. Dr. Nagoski weaves science references with her own case studies and useful metaphors in a familiar, conversational manner. There were a couple of chapters that dragged a bit, though I acknowledge it may just be because those weren’t as relevant to me. I found the book very approachable and revelatory - and yet my biggest takeaway seems so obvious - that your sexuality is your own and prioritizing your experiences over your expectations will help you have a confident and joyful sex life.
