\"Sushi<\/p>\n

The Harvey Weinstein and female abuse sagas were blazing forth as I read this narrative and I was constantly challenged by the thoughts of these women, what they desired from the men around them and how complex the starting and finishing of relationships can be. I enjoyed the titillation as well as the \u2018real\u2019 insights into how this female author believes some women regard the Other. Her insights into a mother\u2019s life, her seemingly rich understanding of depression and her varied characterisations were enriching if a struggle for my poor male mind. The sex was very masculine in some ways, is that really what is going on?<\/p>\n

What a complex beast the fashion industry is and how self-absorbed some of these women appeared. How much is real? What should a male reader take away from it?<\/p>\n

I look forward to tackling another even if it got a bit over-inclusive at times. Great writer though and if I get time will go back and pull the characters apart a bit… just for interest of course.<\/p>\n
