A nice inclusive romance 🫶🏻
As a fellow chronic illness survivor (no, I do not like the term "warrior") and disabled woman this just felt good. Her disability was never the issue of the story. It was just as much a part of her in the story as her doctor's degree. It's refreshing after seeing all these movies and books about this "poor disabled woman/guy" struggling with everything and then finding the only good thing in their lives in the form of a love interest. Definitely a recommendation for anyone looking for a feel-good, spicy(!!), inclusive romance! ^^

A+ idea. C execution. The disability rep was WONDERFUL, but the writing itself was just not for me. It pulled me out of the story so often; I barely finished this book. As much as I love disability rep in romance, I don't think I'm likely to read more by this author. The writing is way too clunky, with so much telling instead of showing. There's insta love, and Jay, the male love interest, has a point of view that can only be distinguished from the heroine's POV by the near constant use of the word "f*ck". I did like Frankie. She was fun and smart and interesting. But the last act breakup and the cartoonishly villainous ex stretched credulity, and I did not care for the audio book rendition either. Just overall very disappointing.

Knot My Type is a charming and lighthearted contemporary romance that will make you swoon and smile. The witty banter between loveable characters and the sweet, slow-burn romance make this book a delightful and enjoyable read.

Books are a fantastic way to be able to explore new things in a safe, accessible, and non-committal way. Shibari and rope play has never been super high on my list of "kinks I'd like to explore," but reading about someone else's exploration into learning more about it gave me at least a bit more insight into the overall appeal of the scene from the comfort of my own car (since I mostly listen to audiobooks on my work commute).
I loved Frankie's openness and efforts to talk things through as openly and honestly with Jay from day one. Jay took her refreshing candor in stride and did his best to match her, and pretty darn well for someone with as rocky an emotional past as he had (from growing up in the foster system to the ex who absolutely gutted him). I appreciated Frankie's friends, all of whom are truly ride-or-die for each other in the best of ways. I look forward to reading their books in the rest of the All Access series.
Overall, as a non-disabled reader, the focus on Frankie's capabilities as a woman in a wheelchair was enlightening and just really cool to read. The accessible adaptations to the things I take for granted as an able-bodied person were interesting and never really focused on in a way that fetishized or glamourized her life in a wheelchair, but instead just told it like it is and the things that make up her everyday life. And I appreciated when she called Jay out for his ableist thinking, which also called me out as a reader to rethink my assumptions!
