Story
"Three Women - Drei Frauen" ist der Text der Stunde über weibliche Sexualität zwischen Lust und Macht, anziehend und verstörend, vielschichtig, gewaltig und schön. Alles, was Lina will, ist, dass sie jemand begehrt. Wie ist sie in diese Ehe geraten, mit zwei Kindern und einem Mann, der sie nicht einmal mehr auf den Mund küsst? Alles, was Maggie will, ist, dass sie jemand versteht. Wie konnte sie sich auf ihren Lehrer einlassen? Und warum scheinen alle nicht ihn, sondern sie dafür zu hassen? Alles, was Sloane will, ist, dass sie jemand bewundert.

Story
Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true.

Story
I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late. But I reassure myself: The Winchesters don’t know who I really am. They don’t know what I’m capable of....

Story
The Rachel Incident is an all-consuming love story. But it's not the one you're expecting. It's unconventional and messy. It's young and foolish. It's about losing and finding yourself. But it is always about love. When Rachel falls in love with her married professor, Dr Byrne, her best friend James helps her devise a plan to seduce him. But what begins as a harmless crush soon pushes their friendship to its limits. Over the course of a year they will find their lives ever more entwined with the Byrnes' and be faced with impossible choices and a lie that can't be taken back...

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Wouldn’t recommend
The last few chapters definitely made up for the slow start and middle section. But the narrating voices really affected how much I enjoyed this story. In the end I had to listen to the book on 1.5x speed just to get through it as it was too distracting from the actual story line. I’ve had friends who absolutely loved this book but it was a realllll push for me to get through

Shocked
I can’t believe this is a true story of 3 woman. Women’s emotions are so much more empowering!
Love this book it’s a must for every woman young and old.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable
I really appreciated the dynamic stories of all of the women in this book. I found myself cringing and feeling intrigued at the same time.

A difficult but necessary read
It’s hard to read at times because it forces women to reflect on their own internal thoughts and lives and to realise that they themselves have had similar experiences and thoughts. This can be extremely uncomfortable. But it is a necessary read. At the very least to help us move towards our own and each other’s distress and pain. As opposed to away from it.

Compelling, curious, fresh
Lisa Taddeo has an interesting voice and her subject is fascinating. Three women's stories which delve into the sexual lives, and compromises made, on their journey to womanhood. There's something here that's resonant for every woman, I'm sure.
Overall I was engaged and interested, but felt there was some imbalance in these women's stories. Maggie's is the strongest, with the most dramatic narrative arc. The Sloane and Lena stories are less directional, and at times feel meandering and lightweight next to the drama of the 'romance' and heartbreak of Maggie's story. But this is interesting terrain for sure, and makes you contemplate your own relationships and female experience in a new light.
Great also to have real performers reading - especially Mena Suvari - but all three brought something to their performances. It's a good sign that Audible is producing high-quality stories of this genre and with consideration for a sophisticated female audience.

The epilogue seals the deal
I’m not a huge reader, but this is very good, so many themes here are so important. Once I got to the epilogue, found a whole new respect for this author. Well done :)

Not quite what I was expecting.
I found this slightly challenging to listen to as an audio book for a start and didn’t quite expect the style of story telling. Became gripping in the end though. Wished it continued!

a powerful read
One of my friends husbands saw this book poking out of my bag when we all caught up for a coffee, and sneered at the title “sounds like a feminazi story to me” whilst he rolled his eyes. To me it’s people like him that need to read this book, although invariably are the ones that never do.
A non-fiction exploration about the sex lives of three American women. Full of heartbreak & scandal, this is a powerful read: chronicling stories that need to be told.
I absolutely love @lisadtaddeo ‘s writing style which is both beautiful and poetic. I particularly enjoyed her unusual way of writing non-fiction in a fiction-like way, and found myself completely absorbed & emotionally invested in their stories.
My only gripe is that it paints a sullen picture of these women’s desires, illustrated by unhealthy sex and toxic relationships. I would have love to have seen a positive message in there, or a LGBTQI+ / non white perspective. Alas though, perhaps in a second book?
I’ve read that this will be adapted in a tv series which will definitely be one to watch!
