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.

Going in I thought this would be a straight forward non-fiction look at female desire, focusing on the lives of three women. What I got was a book that is three women's stories regurgitated in a way that makes them read like fiction, the writing itself was emotive, raw and extremely well crafted but it just fell a little flat? I was unsure as the point of the book as I didn't seem to actually be about female desire at all. It was hard to read a lot of this book seen as it contains a lot of trauma, assault and abuse.
I feel like the goal for this book was brilliant but the execution less so. I would have probably much preferred it to be more like the Prologue and the Epilogue, reading the Prologue I thought that this was what I was in for and I was excited but sadly for me it did go downhill from there.
I will say that I can see Taddeo's writing talent and I will most likely be picking up her fictional novel that is out later this year to see if that is better suited to what I was after. I'm gutted that this fell flat for me after all the sparkling reviews and recommendations.
