Rated Want 5/10

<div>You know how I know this book is British? Income bracket is apparently a stat we need to know about these anonymous writers. The British class system: always lurking nearby.<br><br>Sorry to these women, but this was sometimes like listening to another person's dream. It doesn't take away from the meaning it has for the storyteller, but I'm kinda glazing over a bit. I skimmed some of the entries. There are a lot of "straight" women in this book who maybe need to have a harder think about their own desires. Also, I wish many of them would quit hating their bodies so much. And dump some of those dudes. At times, the fantasies felt too similar to each other, which is fine if that's what you like, variations on a theme, but as a collective reading experience, I didn't love it.<br><br>That said, just because I didn't love this doesn't mean it won't be revelatory to someone else. Fantasies are personal, of course, and this is definitely a book for the phrase "your mileage may vary."<br><br>Gillian Anderson's involvement is what made me pick up the book, and her introductions to each section do have some insights. Still, glad this was only a library book.</div>
