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!!!!!!!
pickI started reading this book and being very judgemental. Yes, the author can be very annoying and exhausting, and I felt that at the beginning she was just trying to please her husband and the partners she encountered along the way.
But I‘m glad I read it. It gave me a new perspective about an alternative lifestyle, how messy it can get, and how communication and both main partners not forgetting that their family comes first can make this work.
👫💍 +🧍I don‘t know what to say or think of this one! It‘s crazy, reckless, immoral, and mindblowing! I could keep going, but that‘s enough for now.
Emily Henry‘s backlist, Christina Lauren‘s books, and Abby Jimenez books! I also just ordered Chris Bohjalian‘s new book! The Princess of Las Vegas!
Beatriz Williams! Fiona Davis! Alice Feeney! So many others!!
