Frankie is disabled and in a wheelchair. She is a sexogist and has a podcast about accessible time, conversations and play. She is asked about rope play and goes out to seek the information on it. This is when she meets Jay, an educator, rigger and carpenter but he is also a one-night stand kind of guy.
I really liked the accessible rope play and the dismantling of ableist thought processes that people might have that disabled people cannot and do not have spicy time.
I wish the crucial conversations related to Jay's ARC in particular were not so rushed. For someone who is so anti-relationship to be okay with it so quickly with Frankie did a disservice I think to his character development.
I also struggled with Frankie's entire personality being her sexologist/ counselor type role. Even so much that her friends would even say she is pathologizing them.
The labor that goes into being a therapist, confident in this level is emotionally taxing and to not have down time with the people you should be able to let your guard down with sounded exhausting and to be on the receiving end of a friend who is always looking at you as a person as something they need to help "fix" bugged me.
That part might be something that is just very personal and frustrating to me and others might not have that same issue. I am interested in reading more from this author though and seeing her range of writing and character development.
