Hey, I finished reading this 23 days before the two-year mark. I always read non-fiction quite slowly, because it's data, not story. I know stories and tropes intuitively after decades of reading them. But non-fiction is always different.
I was given a copy of this book because I was trying to puzzle out what so appealed to me in m/m Romance, and the author took pity on me. (At the time, it was over a hundred bucks, way out of my budget.) I am grateful. I've learned a lot, both about the research into various aspects surrounding the question of the appeal of slash fic to women, and about myself and my own related questions. If you have similar questions, do read this. It's worth your time.
My conclusions? M/m's primary appeal for me is the absence of sexism that a woman character invariably brings. Also, I like boys, the more the merrier. Also-also, the politics of my 'shocking' preferences and pushing the boundaries of what's "acceptable" for women to prefer appeals to me very much. :)
