Whip Smart: A Memoir

Somehow rode the line between exactly what I expected and not what I expected. A bit like holding a mirror up, in the way that it is both you and the reverse of you - or at least the way you perceive yourself.

This was super compelling and well-written. I couldn't put it down! I thought the author did an excellent job exploring the psychology behind submission, as well as examining her own reactions to it.

Was it kink-shamey? Sure. But the author acknowledges that and explores WHY, which is part of what I thought made this so good.
