This book comes highly recommended, and I can see why. It definitely helps upend a lot of the stories society has told us about women and their sexuality. Most of it wasn’t exactly brand new information to me, but the packaging or framing of these concepts was interesting. The part about “stress loops” and how we can close them was definitely fascinating, and I’m not surprised this author expounded on this matter in her next book. I am curious to read that one. I’m glad I read this one, even if I didn’t love the reading experience. Despite the author’s enthusiasm and positivity, the subject matter often felt heavy, and I had to take it in small bites.
