so-soThere's something about reading people's inner thoughts that make me feel a bit of a voyeur but this was a good book with lots of thought towards the selection process.
I do feel that it ended without closure though, as it ended with a submission, and not any final words from Anderson, which although she writes the prefaces to every chapter, which I felt could have rounded this out nicely to get some final thoughts.
pickGillian Anderson set out to normalize women‘s fantasies. She‘s collected personal stories from women all over the world along with their ages, locations, sexual preference, living situation and socioeconomic information. These fantasies are then organized by common themes such as: strangers, want, being worshiped, forbidden lovers, kink, being watched, etc. I‘d say this is well done but repetitive to listen to at once. Better to dip in and out of.
pickA fascinating look into another's marriage. The whole multi-relationship prospect seems exhausting to me; both physically and emotionally. But I get the different partners feeding different facets of a person. I like my alone time more 😁 My favorite part of the book was Molly's mother, Mary--love her!

While the grand naps, the Nanma reads 😁
so-soI grew up in the 60‘s and lived in a commune in the 70‘s, so I‘m not a prude. I spent time in my 40‘s wishing I could expand my marriage…but mostly I just wanted a relationship in which I could have my own little room to retreat to. This woman (and her husband) decided to open up their marriage and each of them became involved with other partners. I had a few problems with this because a) they must be independently wealthy and quite privileged 🔽
pickNot the kind of thing I'd recommend to everyone, but if you're considering "putting yourself out there" and feeling unsure, this book can serve as a nice little pep talk from an expert that could help ease your mind and know what to expect. I was already thinking about dating again for the first time in 4 years when I started this. It made me feel better about that decision and now I'm happily dating and feeling better about it than ever before ?
so-soThis was like a train wreck that I just couldn't look away! Yikes.
Watermelon pear wine 🍷 and book! yes please! It‘s been a nerve wracking weekend at work! So glad it‘s over until Tuesday! 😴❤️
Edited to vent!! This book is like driving by a wreck and not being able to turn away! I am screaming at this woman and her terrible decisions! “LOVE YOURSELF!” OMG! I‘ve made some pretty bad choices in my lifetime, but daaammmmnnnn girl!! 😱😫 the title should be changed to NO!!!!!!!
