This book was depressing. As others have said in reviewing this - I'm not sure of the point. None of these stories were particularly novel. I didn't relate to any of them. Across these stories I felt as though desire was being presented as something that goes hand in hand with a complete lack of self esteem. Were any of these stories telling something new? I don't think so. The three tales are supposedly deeply intimate but all feel rather contrived and their lives have been boiled down to cheesy sex scenes. There are some truly cringy things in here and it basically boils down to women being desperate for men to love them. I found the brief hints about desire that *isn't* related to sex much more interesting. Women just *wanting* full stop. But that wasn't the point here and it was much less interesting.
