“So many people like, ‘Why are you telling those stories? They're so sad,’” Taddeo says. But as much as some reveled in the nonfiction work’s brutal candor, others weren’t ready for such a radical reflection.
Three Women, which debuted at number one on the New York Times Best Seller list in 2019, examined the sexual lives of three disparate women, offering a raw, unrepentant look at extramarital affairs, threesomes, and the lasting effects of sexual assault. “I've been through a lot and there's something to be said about showing other people your own scars.” Taddeo has yet to commit these experiences to a memoir, but they color her debut book, Three Women, and are omnipresent throughout her new novel, Animal. Taddeo’s father died when she was 23, and over the course of the next seven years she lost her mom, aunt, uncle, and dog. “I'm a fairly dark-thinking individual who has had something of a dark path,” the author tells Bustle.
