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.

It was a hard read through countless moments. Even if some of the characters were questionable or unlikable actions there were points where I personally identified with each one or have known a women to confide in varying action. It did leave me wanting more but I know they're still living their lives so you're not going to get a neatly finished story. I did want answers on how they resolved though.

I found Lina and Maggie's stories compelling but there wasn't enough time for Sloane's story. Her story felt the weakest and the least fleshed out. There was also a twist that has to do with the relationship between her and her brother but it was completely sudden. There was no foreshadowing or leading to that particular conclusion. Lina didn't really get a proper ending compared to the other two stories, but the book was so easy to get into.

Very captivating, although by the end I was mostly only invested in one of the three stories. Every woman can relate to something in this book whether they've lived it or witnessed it. Fair warning: lotsa smut

ALSO if you're into audiobooks this is a good one- different narrators for each woman and their expressions are very fitting for the parts
