This book was so cute! Which makes it no less complex a meditation on the minds of women and the relationship between the erotic, one’s ownership of desire, and agency. And fighting the patriarchy.
The story itself is a fascinating mix of talking about the conversations women have with other women and the ways that me feel threatened and threaten in turn in response to any kind of power shown by women.
Definitely a feel-good story (unless you hate women, of course), but I feel like feel good gets a bad rep as not serious, whereas the reason this feels good is that it’s a hopeful story about things getting better in different ways for different people that acknowledges the importance of choice. #relatable
