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.

I'm disappointed because the description left me wanting more than what I'd read. Actual representation of the diversity of women's desire. Much more of a focus on trauma, not much analysis or commentary? No sense of closure or reflection on the parts of the main women?

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.
