If you're not interested or curious about bdsm then well this isn't for you. Most people seem this thing that being a submissive in a role is weak or sad but people don't realize that the subs have all the power. This book gives you some insight to help better understand

This book was utterly fascinating. As someone who is also part of the kink community, hearing other people's experiences is something I always enjoy, and this novel is written in a way that I believe people who are not part of the community will find it interesting as well. I want to hear more experiences from Sonnet!

This memoir is something that is unique and I think when it is released it will find its audience. Sonnet's unfiltered story of their life both behind closed doors and in public both teaches you about who Sonnet is but also about the BDSM world they partake in. It was a page turner and one of those members you won't forget.

Definity a page turner! This was a really well written memoir that wasn't at all what I expected. I def think this book will stand out when it's released.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC! I love myself a good memoir. This anonymous writer is talented and raw in her honesty. The details were definitely difficult for me the understand but understanding others is important and I believe that's why she wrote the book.

“Submit” by Sonnet is not only an insight into the world of BDSM but also an education of sorts. This memoir by Sonnet not only explores her life and experiences within the BDSM community but also provides the reader with some deeper knowledge to know and consider.
Many people are not familiar with the BDSM world and may have some pre-conceived notions, I think this memoir does an excellent job educating people on what goes into these experiences. It helps to expand the readers mind!
That being said, I really wanted more of a deeper understanding of Sonnet’s thoughts. I found parts of the novel to be surface level. I even found some of the BDSM scenes to be a bit boring just because I wanted more depth from them.
Overall, I have to say that this novel has really opened my mind up. I’ve never been very familiar with the BDSM community or what it’s like, but I’ve found the perspective through Sonnet’s eyes an interesting read.

Submit, by Sonnet, is a memoir that reads like a novel. The author doesn't hold back, revealing how she came to crave the live of a sexual submissive. I was most fascinated by her struggles to reconcile her public persona, a smart, educated businesswoman, with her internal desire for domination and sexual subjugation. A different take on BDSM. Highly recommend.

Sonnet's "Submit" is a compelling read that delves into the world of BDSM through the lens of a seemingly ordinary woman. The memoir is strongest when exploring the protagonist's struggle to reconcile her public persona with her hidden desires. We see a successful professional grappling with the societal expectations placed on her and the thrill she finds in relinquishing control. This duality is fascinating and keeps the pages turning.

Overall, "Submit" is a thought-provoking read that offers a unique perspective on identity and desire. For those interested in BDSM exploration or the complexities of hidden lives, this is a solid choice. But readers seeking a more nuanced exploration of psychology or a richly detailed narrative might find it falls a bit short.
