Three Women Book by Lisa Taddeo

Three Women isn't exactly riveting or life changing. It's just another mediocre book about sex. It follows three women from difference facets of life. The read was rather disappointing with the exception of the Maggie. The writing was decent but I was incredibly disappointed with the outcome of the book.

I think that has more to do with the way the book was marketed and not the book itself.I was expecting a very different read. I was anticipating a read that was based off the data  of many women and not just 3 women. The book was marketed as a book about sexual desires and it just covers three women. The book synopsis also states that the women are from different regions and backgrounds but the are all white American women who want to be loved. American and women are made up of so much more than that. What about other ethnic groups? Do they not count? 

The book tackles sexuality and womanly desires but it really lacks a clear thesis leaving me perplexed as to exactly what Taddeo was trying to tell her readers. I feel frustrated and the book feels unresolved. It feels like a book about men more than women and the way men control women's sexuality. This book isn't all that it's been made out to be.
