I'm not sure what I was expecting of this book, but I was pleasantly satisfied. The main character spends lots of time analyzing gender identities, kinks and their place in relationships, lesbianism and bisexualism, misogyny, male privilege, vanity and selfishness. It reminded me of another book I read this year: A Good Happy Girl, but way sexier and less gluttonous. I'd recommend for anyone who is interested in a literary take on bisexuality from a feminine perspective.
