This is a provocative and racy look at the topic of Kink. I found all the expressions of kink and the spectrum of characters and their relationships to kink so refreshing and liberating. This is a bold collection with contributions from some world class writers such as Roxane Gay, Carmen Maria Machado and Brandon Taylor as well as the editors themselves. My only caveat is that there was too much spit play in some of the stories. But that is my personal preference as I have a very low squeamish tolerance for anything to do with spit!

But really this collection was so powerful. It was creative and uninhibited and really explored kink and it's misconceptions and it's cultural and social and psychological roots and it's many expressions some ugly, some passionate in such cutting edge, compelling short stories. I would recommend this to everyone. This is a collection that needs to be shared. We are living in 2021, we need to see this part of people's sense of self and identity represented in our literature.

Thank you to the editors R. O Kwon and Garth Greenwell, Simon & Schuster UK and Netgalley for a review copy in exchange for an honest review.
