I liked this more than I thought I would from the description and marketing that describes a "whisper network of women."
Though this book describes a lot of sex explicitly, it is more about desire and fantasy... Not just sexual fantasy, but constructing a fantasy in order to cope with the stress and complication of life, and then finding time and again that fantasy will fail you.
It's a brutally honest portrait, unflinching, funny, and full of many beautiful moments.
It's Kate Chopin's The Awakening, but funnier and with less suicide by drowning.
