I'm kind of not okay since reading one of the stories, "The Cure." It was like an extremely claustrophobic, colorless nightmare that I couldn't wake up from, and it's still haunting me. The author did excellent work.

"I'm not so nosey that I ask them questions or anything, but these ladies tell me anyway about why they like to be waxed down there." From one of the stories titled "Waxing the Thing" ? #hairthereandeverywhere #AndItsAugust @RealLifeReading

Bertha_Mason I can't wait to read your review. This book sounds great. 7y
batsy @Bertha_Mason @erzascarletbookgasm I read this many years ago. At the time I found it raunchy and funny, but flipping through it now I find that some of the satire seems to miss its mark. But still worth checking out, I think, if so inclined :) 7y
Bertha_Mason Thank you, I appreciate it. It's on my list now. 7y

#literaryworldtrip "Junglee" means wild and it is used to describe the protagonists of these stories, wo try to engage with their sexuality in a context where sexualized violence is normalized and female desire unspoken of. The stories meander between the realistic and the fairytale-esque, including a girl who cries 100 tears every day. The scope of the collection is limited and some scenes are be a bit disturbing, but still an interesting book.
