Moan: Anonymous Essays on Female Orgasm by Emma Koenig
2.0
I like the idea behind these essays, but I think it could have been executed better.
My biggest issue is the lack of distinct style and diction among the essays. It felt like they were all written by one person putting different scenarios into their own words. Yes, there were important and serious topics discussed, however they felt detached and surface level. It has the feel of a BuzzFeed article. You know what I mean.
2 stars because I can see it benefiting some people, and the concept is one worth normalizing. But it was still a stagnant and forgettable read. The second half was better imo.
