How Not To Get Beaten Up In a Club
Febos dwells on how she loved shocking vanilla people by confessing she was a dominatrix. It made her feel like a sexy bad girl. But she always hastened to assure her audience that she didn't enjoy her work. "The last thing I wanted was to be mistaken for was into it." She just did it for the money—money for drugs, that is. This book could've just as easily been entitled Needle Sharp, because the author's relationship with drugs—heroin and cocaine, mainly—is more pivotal to her personal journey than her exploits as a dominatrix.
So the narrator is a high, insecure girl who keeps saying, "Look, I am so naughty and edgy! But I'm not like those freaks; I'm normal like you—only I'm smarter and braver." This makes the storyteller difficult to like. Whip Smart is 276 pages, and until about page 256, I wanted to slap "Mistress Justine." Febos does eventually get clean, grow up emotionally, and quit her domme job. However, 20 pages isn't much time to color in that stage of her life. After stories of shooting speedballs and dunking men's heads in toilets, the passages about breakthroughs on her therapist's couch fall rather flat.
Domme houses like the one Febos describes are akin to boot camp. They hire women off the street, cinch them into a corset, slap a crop in their hand, and shove them into the dungeon. Rookies either break and run, or fake it until they make it. Febos faked it in the dungeon, but, unfortunately, she never quite makes it with this memoir.
