Fail Seven Times by Kris Ripper
4.0
While on the surface, I have very little in common with the characters or the plot, this book strongly resonated with me.
I feel that I learned something about the world (this is the first time that I could emotionally comprehend the notion of poly), but also about myself. About the painful, one-foot-in-front-of-the-other, oh-my-God-nothing-is-happening way in which emotional growth happens.
It reminded me that climbing out of emotional holes takes time - a frustratingly long time. But also that it is possible to climb out, even when it doesn't seem like it is.
Oh, and the sex is unbelievably hot (while also being absolutely believable, with all the small mind-fuckeries and insecurities that inevitably come with hot sex).
