Review
So, this one sets up the framing device, a girl is writing a steamy (sexy?) romance novel and is taking inspiration from real life events. We're not sure if these are her events or not, but it's heavily implied that they are.
We are then introduced to Ally and Lisa, our two protagonists. Lisa, is the POV character for most of the time, though we do get times where Ally is the POV character.
Ally and Lisa met online as they were both into BDSM, but didn't have anyone to "scratch the itch". They talked online for a few months then decided to meet, and things got sexy from there. (What's funny is that it sounds like I've described the entire graphic novel, but that's actually just the first 10 or so pages).
We also meet Alan, Ally's friend who we later learn is also into BDSM, but is also a Dom and though he and Ally experimented together sexually in the past, they're just really good friends today. Alan also supplies Ally with most of her latex clothes and apparatuses.
This graphic novel really just explored Ally's and Lisa's relationship as they're starting this friends with benefits/BDSM relationship and they're trying to assess what their feelings are (is this sex only arrangement good, or do they want more?).
This graphic novel also talks about some important myths and facts about BDSM too, which I loved. They talk about aftercare, they talk about safe-words, and it was actually some of the best rep I've seen in such a long time.
Overall this was such a fun read, it was a quick (and sexy) read, and I was super excited to continue with the series. Only complaint is the one that Chelsea mentioned in her smutathon vlog was that all the sex scenes were fade to black, but they faded fast. A few more panels of foreplay would've been👌🏻.
