It is not pertinent that I know Erica Scott, nor that I consider her a wonderful human being. Had we never met, and had I happened upon her memoir ‘Late Bloomer’ by chance, I would still be equally as taken with it. However, since I’ve been following her blog (HERE) for some months, I was already prepared to love everything about Erica’s recounting of her life’s experiences thus far.
Beginning the narrative in her formative years, Erica shares victories and defeats, as well as fascinating excerpts from her decades-kept journals. A dysfunctional family, some personality quirks, and a burgeoning interest in spanking all coalesce to make for an awkward early adulthood, but Erica perseveres – and eventually thrives.
Although she is most known for her writing, videos, and love for all things spanking, Erica makes little reference to it throughout the first half of the book – but in the second? Oh boy…
First spankings, then spanking parties, then spanking movies (then spanking books). Ms. Scott is a ‘spankophile’ of the highest order, and she’s no shrinking violet, anymore. (I can personally attest to this.)
Funny, totally engaging, and full of attitude and saucy language, ‘Late Bloomer’ puts me in mind of ‘The Liar’s Club’ by Mary Karr, for it’s ability to convey so effortlessly the author’s perspective. Whether or not you’re a fan of spanking is irrelevant. If you enjoy well-written memoir, you’ll love reading this one. – Dana
