I loved this book. To me Connie is one of the most relatable and sincere female protagonists I have ever read. As a young woman still trying to understand her sexual pleasure preferences and how to be a part of a relationship and read the other person, this book reflects a lot of my vulnerabilities. But the discussions on class, industrialism, romanticism and female independence, disability, war, and sexual preference are some of the many reasons why I recommend  people read this book. The men in the novel aren't entirely agreeable including Mellors, but they are interesting fully formed individuals. The language can be challenging but I felt it was accessible.

Started getting slow. And the romance isn’t as convincing as I thought it would be . Will most likely revisit at another time

Un bon départ  mais les conversations avec son amant sont hypers redondantes et pas du tout intéressantes. Des propos lesbophobes, raciste et misogyne qui sont à vomir. Évidemment je n’oublie pas qu’il s’agit d’un roman d’une autre période mais ça reste tout de même amer à lire.

every time i had to read the phrase bitch-goddess i frowned a little more each time. the reviews that said if it weren’t for the fact that this book was banned, no one would’ve read it are completely right because that’s literally the reason why i read it. this book may have been ahead for its time, but it really doesn’t hold up today.
