I didn't find the message of Want Me to be groundbreaking because I lived it too, but I feel like in many ways young straight women today have it even worse when it comes to dating men than the author did ten and twenty years ago, and any book that educates and/or reminds us that the the contradictory messages about what constitutes sexual empowerment we're being fed in a culture that is profiting off the opposite are lies is a worthwhile one as far as I'm concerned. Personally I would love to see more writing on these issues that also deals specifically with biphobia in the context of everything else Clark-Flory tackles here, but a) this is a memoir and that wasn't her experience, and b) I think that's a whole other book anyway.

Tracy Clark-Flory has lived a fascinating life, and this book is entertaining, enlightening and enraging at times. I thoroughly enjoyed her insight into the culture of sex in the U.S. and how it relates to her personal journey.

Tracy Clark-Flory was raised by feminist parents in a world obsessed with sex. Professionally, she's a journalist who writes about sex, leading her to attend many unusual events and interview interesting people. Personally, her own experience with sex and sexuality is complicated in different ways. In this memoir, Clark-Flory traces her own sexual journey alongside her career, as well as the feminist theory and pop culture moments that shaped the way she looks at sex.

Written with humor, honesty, and a lot of heart, this memoir is a wonderfully endearing journey. Clark-Flory understands that the personal is political, interweaving feminist and sex theory with her own experiences seamlessly. Want Me beautifully shows the power of vulnerability.

I enjoyed this one a lot! I am excited to see what she writes next. This topic is one I enjoy and the cover made it stick out from the rest!

Although I picked up "Want Me" under the guise it would be more scientific than memoir, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I bookmarked the heck out of my virtual copy to look up several of Tracy's references to other sex writers and researchers.

While I was mostly taken by the content and style of Tracy's writing, some sections of this book felt a little heavy on vocab lessons and may deter some less-advanced readers from powering through.

Ultimately I found Tracy's frankness very relatable to the heterosexual millennial woman experience (or at least my experience dating men as a millennial woman) and I hope many young women find their way to this book and Tracy's other writing as well.

This book was just fascinating. Tracy writes like talking to an old friend, maybe because we’re close in age, but also maybe because she is honest in a way that would make most of us pretend we’ve never had similar thoughts or desires. I read this book in a day and now I want to read her articles. Thank you, Net Galley, for the advanced copy to read and review this book.
