About this listen

From the keenly observant author of The Fairer Sex comes a collection of sexy, razor-sharp short stories that swing a wrecking ball at our assumptions about women - what they desire, what they’re working toward, and what they’re willing to wait for.

In these witty, bracing, and poignant stories, Michelle Miller follows six women on the often-surprising path to satisfaction.

An ambitious corporate consultant reflects on the choices she’s made when she reconnects with an ex. An NYU grad’s desire for a married alumnus lands her in a precarious position. A frustrated dog owner tests the appeal of her bichon-poodle puppy at the dog park. Two best friends discover their discomfort zone when they play with three inevitable words: "Should we date?" A trophy wife’s practical choice takes a dark turn in the South of France. And a marketing consultant faced with her boyfriend’s blindsiding proposal to sleep with other people decides that it’s not such a bad idea.

Women who think they have it all . This is a good book to listen to while exercising.

Good short stories

I liked the first story and the last one. I wasn’t crazy about the others . Each features a woman “on top” but the meaning of that term is different in each story.

Read this in honor of International Women's Day but found it underwhelming. The short stories were meant to depict women coming out on top despite their choices and mistakes. But I just found it mostly depressing.

Underwhelming

I'm sure some would like it but not my style.
it felt like a collection of gossip.

Not my type of reading

The book wasn’t a waste of time. I appreciate the short stories. The characters made me feel sad for them. It seems they were looking for something outside to fulfill them, rather than looking inside of them . Each one felt they were on top, but were they.

It was OK

The question is - on top of what, exactly? I wouldn’t say any of these characters were living their best lives. Not leaning in so much as leaning over, contorting themselves to society’s expectations and prioritizing men’s wishes - with said pressures and expectations internalized and reactions to such driving many life decisions.

People are complicated, and the writing reflects that. But I wouldn’t call this an uplifting read.

Don’t be fooled by the title. I would not want to know any of these women.

Weird women
