Practice Makes Perfect by Kris Ripper
5.0
Ugh, it’s like I forget how fucking good Kris Ripper books are if I don’t read them regularly.
And this one was SO good! I’m back to my SMU reread, including all of the side novellas, and this was a new-to-me story! Which doesn’t happen in SMU much anymore. I don’t know why I waited so long to read it, it was excellent.
I really loved all of the conversation happening between Ally and Paul. I liked the frank discussions about Paul and his use of a wheelchair. I’ve read one (I think?) other book with a wheelchair user in it, and it wasn’t nearly as good as this one (imo, I’m obvs not the wheelchair user rep police). I also really appreciated that this was a book with a lot of sex in it, but with zero PIV sex. It was about exploring what made each of them feel good and erogenous zones and what sex can look like for someone with no sensation below their waist.
It was also great to see Justin from Fail Seven Times, as the class (BDSM and Dating) that this story revolves around is mentioned in FST. And I loved getting to meet Paul and see how he and Ally met/got together. In the New Years novellas, he just kind of pops up, so I really enjoyed getting to read his and Ally’s story.
I can’t wait to continue with the reread!
