A review by hannahgjenson
Three Women by Lisa Taddeo

3.5

this novel paints very interesting portraits of three american women whose lives have been negatively impacted by men (men who then refuse to accept blame or take accountability), but framed squarely in the context of their sexual desire and their interpersonal relationships. I wish the author provided more analysis and discussed a more direct POV on connections between these women’s traumatic experiences and their current behavior and feelings. I also thought the book lacked a queer perspective, which, beyond representing a wider range of women, would have provided an interesting and needed contrast to those who center men in their lives so strongly! I still found it insightful and challenging of my beliefs at times. I also found myself cheering for every main character often and just want the bets for them. a good book club read!
