First published 2017
Claire Dederer, a happily married mother of two, is suddenly gripped by strange new hungers. As she navigates this erotic reawakening, she reflects on her teenage self - the boyfriend she dumped when she discovered pleasure, the elite clique she thought she'd left behind. With wry wit and raw honesty, Dederer exposes the universal truths of womanhood, daughterhood, and wifedom.
