How this got green-lit to be a TV series is completely beyond me, this book is sorely dissapointing. Touted as a breakthrough in femininity and resilience, the reality is that all three of the stories are shallow and boring. The overall message to women seems to be to seek external validation at all costs. I can't tell if its the almost comical abundance of badly written soft p*rn, or the general lack of emotional depth that makes the stories so bad. If you liked 50 Shades of Gray, this book could be for you. If you want something with real depth and inquisition into the female psyche, look elsewhere.
