This book was just not for me and I stopped reading a little over halfway through. The book ends up reading very much like a sex diary. And with the affairs and pedophilic relationships described in detail, I could no longer listen. I understand the point of bringing certain emotions and info to light, but it was not easy for me to digest that info.

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.
