The Tail of Deedee & Doofus (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798896042648)

Breakups hurt. HR hurts more. But finding yourself on a kink-friendly pet play site? That's where things really get interesting.

Sophie is reeling from a breakup with her freeloading, ginger ex. What starts as a wine-fueled spiral quickly veers into unexpected territory: sex-positive subcultures, darkly funny work politics, and a curious new world where "being petted" means more than compliments and comfort food.

In The Tail of DeeDee & Doofus, Kay Ateanone spins a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud portrait of post-breakup reinvention in the age of WhatsApp overshares and incognito tabs. With characters that burst off the page-from the chaos-powered best friend Stacy to the magnetic Missy and Jo-this is a tale of friendship, self-discovery, and sensual awakening set against the maddening hum of everyday office life.

Smart, filthy, tender, and wildly original, this is a book for anyone who's felt lost after heartbreak and found something delightfully unexpected in its place.

If Fleabag and Bridget Jones had a kink-positive, emotionally complex cousin, it would be this book.
