The fact that this book is nonfiction but kept my interest like a fiction read is surprising. I decided to read this because I saw the trailer for the show premiere and it’s always #bookfirst if I can help it. The vast differences and similarities between the 3 women is probably the most interesting and they show up as themes in the book (love, heartbreak, desire, intimacy, anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, grief, and more).  Anddddd Justice for Maggie because that trial was a mess and I have no law experience but so much was missed! I’m excited to start the show now but also curious to know where and how these women are doing today.

a book about “women’s desire” that centers on the men in these women’s lives and THEIR desires. i was sooooooooo disappointed by this. how can u include 2 literal victims in it, write the graphic scenes of what happened to them, and be like no no this is about WOMEN and THEIR desires. it felt like the author used her mom’s story and the story of these women as trauma porn instead of actually writing anything meaningful. she should’ve just interviewed men like she had initially wanted to.

I'm disappointed because the description left me wanting more than what I'd read. Actual representation of the diversity of women's desire. Much more of a focus on trauma, not much analysis or commentary? No sense of closure or reflection on the parts of the main women?

emotional sad tense slow-paced

4.5

Very well written, retelling the accounts of women’s experiences with love, sexuality and shame. The book manages to give its reader a very personal view of these literal third person stories.
