Lisa Taddeo follows three women's lives in an effort to unmask women's desires. 

The audiobook has a full cast of narration and the author reads the author's note and closing. The other three narrators are perfect and really elevate the audiobook. 

The book follows Maggie, Sloane, and Lena. All three women are very different, but we see that they each deal with the oppressive nature of living in patriarchal society. The implications of their shared reality manifest differently in each woman's life (check trigger warnings!). 

The book can be summed up with the following quote from one of Lena's opening chapters

 Women shouldn't judge each others lives, if we haven't been through one another's fires.

4.5

The writing style(s) of this book are so interesting, and I was really hooked on everyone's stories. And goddammit was I full of rage at the North Dakota one. I think what works really well in this book is that you may start it thinking that you wouldn't have anything in common with the three women, but as you dig deeper, you feel like they're speaking part of you. We all desire and usually, we're blocked and hurt. I'll be thinking for a long time about the advice that Ms. Taddeo's mother gave her in the last portion of the book. I think she's right, and that sucks.
