Review of 'Three Women' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Misleading cover copy. This book is about women who are abused and have low self-esteem and has nothing whatsoever to do with women’s sexual desire as the blurbs tout. The book lacks the self-awareness to comment on the abuse and exploitation these women have suffered, instead reporting their experiences from a state of denial. I was very disappointed in the shallowness and lack of feminist analysis. I suspect the reason this was a bestseller is that it has a fair amount of erotic content—this season’s Fifty Shades.
