There is a sense of loneliness when reading Ana’s words as Confessions of a Female Dominant opens. Every page and every word reveals it in a multitude of ways. She is a woman desperate for something, which she cannot name, not while in Russia and not when a job takes her from her homeland to the borders of Europe. The story, written by Ana from Sweden, doesn’t say much on the surface. This is not a story driven solely by action, but as we learn about friends, relationships, and submissives, we learn so much about Ana, thus giving the reader a true sense of who she really is. It is impossible to walk away from the story and not understand that Ana wears many hats, most of which don’t feel like her, but when she steps into her true self, the change is evident.
Confessions of a Female Dominant is an unexpected delight. Ana from Sweden has a unique method of storytelling that, at times, can feel as if it’s all over the place, but suddenly the story winds down, and the path makes total sense. It’s not just her life as a female dominant that compels the reader to keep going, but it’s also how she navigates life between those sessions and the personal toll it takes on her. This story forces us to examine the price of being who the world needs us to be without losing the bits and pieces that make us who we are, but also make us happy.
