I don’t know how I feel about this book. I really like the voice of the author and hearing about her journey through her sex life as she ages, but the overall work left something to be desired.
The essays felt disjointed and information felt too all over the place. There were so many times where it felt like I was rereading something or should be finding something out for the first time instead of the 3rd or 4th.
The summary also felt very far removed from what the book discussed, which left me a bit disappointed. I wanted there be to much more discussion on pop culture and how it shaped her - not just a few moments. The story was also SO heavily centered around her sex life that it felt like it was only about that.
