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.

Lisa Taddeo is such a talented and gifted writer. This book was challenging based on the content, but very well written. Definitely worth checking out, but there are some content warnings.

I have mixed feelings on this one.  
The author shares the stories of three women and the details of their relationships with significant men in their lives.  All three stories were engaging and intriguing.  However, they seemed a bit imbalanced to me because Maggie's story (that of a teen who becomes involved with her teacher) could've been a book of its own.  While all the stories were emotional, that one just felt much heavier than the others.  

Most of the book is written in straightforward prose that allows for smooth reading, but every now and then, the author hits you with a simile  thrown in that feels forced and takes you out of the book.

I also would've appreciated it if the author had chosen a more diverse group of women.  Perhaps this book concept could be extended into a series that includes some women of color.

Not what I expected from the forward. I'm very curious about the writing of this one and want to look up more info. Incredibly sad and frustrated for all the women. Violently angry for Maggie. All of them, really, but especially angry for Maggie.
