But some parts resonated with me so deeply in a way that I, someone who considers herself to be a sexually free and satisfied woman, never expected. I found myself reading out passages of it to my boyfriend, as I found sections that expressed exactly what I had felt in the past, but in a much more coherent, eloquent way! Please note: I posted all the notes I highlighted in the book directly from the Kindle app to Goodreads. As a woman, I found that there were many times throughout this book where I found myself relating to what Holmes was saying, feeling, experiencing and expressing. It’s brilliant and I can only say that if you don’t read this book then you’re missing out (seriously!

I genuinely think this is a must-read for every woman out there because it is a catalyst for self-love and women empowerment. I did find this a little irritating (and I say that as a big fan of Bridget Jones) but think it's excusable since the author doesn't claim to be an expert in the field, and to her credit shares both the highs and lows of her journey with the reader very honestly. It blows stereotypes about sex, silence and stigma wide open, unflinchingly confronts the reality of women’s complex sexual lives without patronising or preaching, and best of all it will make you laugh yourself silly at the same time!Having said all of that, the book swiftly transitions, courtesy of the author at last coming across some empathetic men, to a sexual odyssey that lies far, far outside my comfort zone, and I suspect that of many others. Monipuolinen matka kulkee toivelistojen, tantrakurssien, ihmissuhteiden, seksileirien ja lopulta myös raskauden sekä synnytyksen kautta. Kirjassa Holmes käy omaelämäkertamaisesti läpi omaa seksuaalista matkaansa ja seikkailujaan hauskalla ja viihteellisellä tyylillä, ja yhdistää sitten kokemuksensa tiukkaan yhteiskunta-analyysiin ja paukuttaa naisten seksuaaliseen asemaan liittyvät ongelmakohdat ja faktat tiskiin.
