Acts of Service

Каждый персонаж со своими тараканами, по своему messy and flawed. Динамику их отношений безумно интересно наблюдать.

I knew that the hour in which sex occurred was the least superficial thing: For that hour, at least, I was absolutely real and present, capable of feeling, intuition, care, vulnerability. Why couldn't I feel like that with the help of a little solitary tool, like meditation or exercise?

Сам секс показан не просто как половой акт, а как процесс коммуникации, явление и открытия себя.

It takes a little bit of sex to remember you don't really know people when you see them on the street. Sex forces you back into awe—reveals to you just how difficult it is to know someone, just how much attention and self-delusion are required to conjure love.

so intimate. so sexual. so much to process. 

I always enjoy reading books written by women about one woman’s messy life. 

every time it enhances my love of being a woman more and more. 

it certainly did affect my current mental state, and slightly redirected the flow of my thoughts, but i feel like i gained a good experience and learned a few lessons around the topic i’ve never really been interested in. 

this is a good read. although, I think that I chose the wrong timing to read this book. because i believe, that if i’d read it later in life, it would make much more sense to me. 

i am too ‘inexperienced’ in my sexual life right now, to clearly get to every aspect of the story, and that made me a little lost in understanding the authors message. 

i’m giving this book 4/5 ️ 

and i am certain that i will come back to this story in a few years and reread it once i’ll feel like i’m ready.
