Why read it?

1 author picked Every Woman Knows This as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m a big fan of Hightower’s work, and when I heard her read the title story of this collection at a convention in 2022, I knew this was going to be a must-buy when it was released.

Hightower examines experiences all too common to women through a horrific lens, and the results are chilling and thought-provoking.

The story I related to the most, aside from the title story, was “Goddess of Need.” If you’re a terminal people-pleaser, that one might resonate with you too.
