really liked it

A deadpan, subversive story of creativity, sexuality and individuality. Refreshingly honest and provocative, this is an unforgettable story of a woman with myotubular myopathy writing out her fantasies, whose partakes in a life threatening dare/ blackmail with a carer/enemy.

I’ve probably spent more time thinking about it than I did reading it; about the balances of power, her hatred of print novels due to their inherent ableism and having now written one, about pointing out the voyeurism of able eyes on the disabled body, while asking readers to see her body as a sexual thing, about that ending....

It’s a book of dichotomies all existing together, a messy, muddy, unflinching picture, refreshingly told.
