Angel mostly talks about the limits of affirmative, enthusiastic consent as the "gold standard" that will prevent all sexual assault. She argues for allowing more uncertainty or ambiguity in one's own desire and against the idea that men are just confused and it will all be OK if women learn to communicate
I thought her analysis was mostly cogent and made sense
Although the book often falls into the nonfiction absolutism problem (wherein you're refuting another person's argument because it doesn't apply to everyone, but you get so entrenched that you start acting like your argument applies to everyone instead), I generally liked it! Her discussion of desire as an exploration and often a conversation (a "maybe" that can turn into a "maybe not" or a "yes!" or a "not tonight" or a "just a little") resonates a lot more with me than the "hell yes" confidence culture model
It's fairly binary but she does mention that queer relationships exist lol. This kind of makes me want to read further analysis that includes trans and queer people, but I think it's OK if Katherine Angel wants to stay in her lane

I picked up this book on a whim and can honestly say that this short piece digs deep into the subject of female sexuality. The book is composed of four sections discussing the subject of consent, desire, arousal and vulnerability in our modern era and how these topics have evolved from the past to present day. I particularly enjoyed how she saw a double sided point of view with each topic, portraying the positive and negative connotations that have intertwined with women embracing their sex and sexuality. I also appreciated that the author was clear in her text by pointing out that women of color and trans women have a broader and complex experience regarding the subject matter overall, and didn't try to override that fact with her analysis. In a nutshell, this is a pretty thought provoking read.
So aparently men's books on female desire aren't a good source of knowledge :(

I was hoping for slightly more from this book, but maybe we’re all hoping for more answers about sex and it’s joys/ difficulties under late capitalism. My main issue with the book was that it was very straight, which meant it didn’t really align with my vibes and views but I will say the chapter on arousal was super interesting and informative. Go here to learn about the histories of sexology and the problems of the consent model, not to reshape the way you think about sex, probably.

I think this book opens up a really important discussion about consent and what it means. I really enjoyed reading it.
I don’t think the book necessarily offers up any solutions for how sex will be good again, but then again this is not a self help book, but rather a summary of current discourse about sex and consent, as well as how we got to this point.
