Resumen del Editor

Dinner is served - with a little something on the side. A Brooklyn wife is too sharp to allow her husband’s wandering eye to get the best of her in this witty short story of a dinner party with a delicious comeuppance.

Eleanor and Jonathan have joined a few of their most irritating best friends for an intimate catered gathering. Through all the intellectual chatter, Eleanor’s on watch. Jonathan has already confessed to wanting an open marriage, and tonight, Eleanor has decided to accommodate him. Just not quite the way he expects.

Eleanor is part of The Fairer Sex, a collection of sexy, satirical, and sometimes harrowing short stories that explore the question: “What do women want?” The answer is different for every woman, but each can be read or listened to in a single sitting.

Oh Wow

Okayyyyyyyyy Eleanor, you are a bad lady lol. This was a nice good short read.

A dish best served ...

In this case, revenge is a dish best served HOT. With extra cream on the side ;-)

5 stars

Overall, the collection of short stories in The Fairer Sex by Michelle Miller are either amazing or not worth the time. I like that the cover has each woman's name in a different font. As for reading a novel by Michelle, I think I'd pass as she has some toxic blind spots that I don't want to endure.

Candace: A strong start to the series. If I wasn't married and dating, I'd create my own list. 5 stars

Meredith: I was initially laughing, imagining myself in the Whole Foods with Meredith. Then it took a turn that I couldn't decide if it was real or fantasy, which took me out of the story as it was so unrealistic. 2 stars.

Alicia: I hate-listened to this story and enjoyed it. The whole time I kept thinking, "Karma...". The end was really good, I just personally don't think it's fair, for a multitude of reasons. 4 stars.

Heidi: The beginning is hilarious. However, I found it boring (this coming from someone with a degree in accounting; different from finance, but not by much.) I did like when Heidi stopped writing her story and it became about her and Paul. 2 stars.

Clara: I really enjoyed this book. Clara's relationship with Michael, Lawrence, the intimacy, the twist...a lot was packed into this story. 5 stars.

Lauren: I was immediately put off by Lauren, describing her growing up in wealth and in the next breath taking about living in a cutting-edge place that was "far enough from Chinatown that [visitors] weren't put off by the stench." So unnecessarily offensive and filled with privilege, making it hard for me to have any sympathy for her.

I was intensely physically triggered with the description of her bulimia episode, which I hated. If you've never had an ED, then it will definitely give readers/listeners insight as to what it's like. However, I lived it and didn't need to live it again in such detail. 1 star.

Eleanor: this was as good as Clara. I loved how Eleanor dealt with her husband, except for the "we just did" line. 5 stars.

Keridee: I didn't see the point of this book and couldn't get into it. I understand she's pretty, but having other characters in the book who are only described as fat and their occupation is ridiculous. 1 star.

Samara Naeymi was a good narrator, embodying each woman and her story.

Was not expecting it. Do not listen to it if you are at work.

Honestly I did not read anything about the series and directly started listening to it. God I don’t know how to pen what I’m feeling.! Surprised at the story line. Mad for don’t know what reason. Stifling because I heard it when I’m at a work. Overall it was a nice experience.! I’ll have to listen to the rest of them when I’m not at work.! 😅

My Favorite Story in the Collection!

This was probably my favorite story in the Fairer Sex Collection. For the most part, they all were entertaining mindless stories I was able to enjoy to while doing various household chores. I really enjoyed the storyline of this one, very unique. Of course it still keeps within the raunchy romantic theme of these books, so be mindful if you are easily put off by such things. Listened for free through prime reads, so cant complain about the price, lol. The narrator definitely gets 5/5 stars, she was great!

Another serving, please!

I love this series. Short, sexy stories done right at last. The stories are modern and the narrator is a perfect match for this writer. Such a sexy and vivid reading of these stories. I felt like I was there. More!

SEXY BOOK

interesting little read……kudos to the narrator but this is a book for grown ups only!

uhh

wtf did i just listen to. this is not worth any kind of listen

This Woman Definitely Does NOT Want

Read two books from this series....let's just say I'm not interested in reading any more of them. Gave another story a try after being disappointed in the first one I read. Thought maybe the one I read was just a fluke. Nope. just as much a waste of time as the first. Not interested in trying the others in the series.
