This is one of those books you wish didn't end, or at least the author had put more chapters in. This is far more than a book about adultery, it's a comprehensive look at modern, and at times historical, female sexuality, well written. I would have like more science in the book, but that's just me.

This book was such a great read and I could not put it down. Wednesday Martin covered the topic of female infidelity in depth and her research was simply fascinating. I learned so much and this book kept my attention from beginning to end, it challenged a lot of the assumptions about women and what motivates them to cheat. Trust me on this, just read it!

A very well researched and well executed work about polyamory and female sexuality! I thought it was very tasteful in presenting facts as they were and honoring all of the stories with great empathy and respect. It was well structured and I definitely have a new view about polyamory and female sexuality after finishing this book. My one complaint is that I feel like we didn't see enough of the alternative with research into why or how monogamy works, but the afterwards and conclusion really tie it up very nicely for me and address those lingering concerns.

An extremely validating read about an issue that in time will hopefully change the accepted expectations of marriage and long term partnerships. This paired with [b:Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality|7640261|Sex at Dawn The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality|Christopher Ryan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1291105594l/7640261._SY75_.jpg|10168576], helps with understanding what it means to be human without judgement.

i didn’t agree with everything in here, especially the views on cheating, but this is still such a great and important read that undos a lot of the backward thinking views our culture has when it comes to femme sexuality.

l particularly loved the chapter detailing the experiences of black women and how it differs from how non-black women are viewed/treated when it comes to sex. important nuance!
