adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

This book was recommended to me by a dear friend and after she introduced me to the author I couldn't say no to having the chance at reading it! I wasn't 100% sure what I was about to read but I can say now after finishing this book is Elizabeth is a strong, inspirational and loving woman! 

The memoir starts when she is in school and discovering her sexuality and the start (although not known then) interest towards bondage. After having several heartbreaks Elizabeth makes the life changing decision to move to Japan which is where she receives an awakening within herself. She makes friends and relationships within the S&M world. 
Elizabeth explains about the world of S&M and the relationships she builds as a submissive to Japanese dominatrix! It was thrilling, heartbreaking, and educational. It ends with Elizabeth coming to understand that she needs to love herself in a whole and to accept who she is with the support and love from her god.

This is such a Raw and emotion filled book! 
Though this isn't a story of love and finding her princess, it's definitely a Love story in itself. A self love story!
