Great book! Very vivid, sensual and funny. I found myself laughing numerous times while reading it.
I can feel the characters sentiments.
And I love the ending. Very enjoyable book to read.
Next is reading the sequel.
I really like the writing style of Erica Lee. Gonna definitely check out her other books.
The title should be, "A Western Approach After Sappho". Are only Italians, Greek, French, English women Sappho? The mention of "intelligent green eyes" about 4 times in the book feels incongruous. Would not recommend as it is exclusive.
Well-written, funny, and sexually intense. I finished it in less than two days. It captivated my attention. Thus, I could not put the book down.
Erica Lee is, by now, my favorite queer author. Her romantic plots and happy endings align with who I am. Hence, her work is always a delight—what a great book!
I am in awe! Rachel Krantz may have just become my new favorite author. Her scientific footnotes were vital. She sounded impartial, brutally honest about her experiences, and sexually empowering. What a liberating book!
This book is more crucial than ever. I admire the endless and effective stats/facts provided by the author. I have learned so many relevant facts about healthcare as a woman of color.
I guess patriarchy and xenophobia explains the low ratings.
Highly recommended!
It's great to read evidence-based explanations of men's behaviors, social norms, and such; as a female. Everything in the book made sense. Lastly, it was very instructive.
At first, I thought about how trivial the principles were, which explains why it is part of the high school curriculum in some places. Then, I appreciated the low-key language and practical examples used as the principles were easy to grasp.
Also, I find that many of the principles are now common sense in our day and age. The latter is understandable as the book belongs to a different era. I learned a thing or two—tremendous and easy-to-read text.
Overall, great book. However, some of the language used is insensitive and homophobic. For instance, how can a 15-year-old be a “sex worker” when she is not of consensual age?
This book is far from reliable accounts. It's full of hearsay statements using words like, "speculations, maybe, may..." It's great someone's writing a book about pre-columbus America. However, the slim evidence presented was weak to me. It felt like a story was being told rather than a "supposedly" scientific book.
