Very weird that this book was marketed as a book about women’s sexual desire! It’s more about surviving rape, and being coerced into sexual situations these women actually didn’t enjoy, being manipulated and controlled, and the way women’s sexuality is turned against them. I liked the book itself but it’s pretty messed up that it’s framed as about desire, like what was the goal with that? And just by nature of it being only about three women, it can’t even come close to encapsulating women’s sexualities and desires so idk!

this is a non fiction but kinda written as fiction, especially maggies story. i feel like this book gives a realistic picture of what women go through in misogynistic society, where people doesn't support other women whom often are victimized by men and other women. my blood boils reading maggie experience and how she doesnt have a happy ending, which is realistic and exactly why it pisses me off so much. i love the prologue, it rlly gives a nice start and depicts what women experience but tbh disappointed in the way she told maggie s story and the epilogue. feels like she couldve done more and analyze more about feminism, misogyny, and desires.
