Why read it?
1 author picked Women as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I rarely read books more than once, but this is one of the few that gets an exception based on its sharpness and ability to show its reader the highs and lows of a new, intoxicating, and hidden relationship.

From Ore's list on very, very messy relationships.
