Women are great at fantasizing, and a good share of them have fantasized about another woman. This collection of 23 short stories takes the idea of “What if?” and runs with it in intriguing ways. There are women who have sex with other women for revenge (the protagonist in one story hooks up with the woman her boyfriend is cheating on her with), for love, out of curiosity and more. In some cases, it’s not full-blown sex the women engage in, but just simple physical gestures of affection; they dip their toes into the pool rather than dive right in with reckless abandon. It gives the collection a more rounded feel, and allows readers to use their imaginations more.
