Navigating the dating world can be hard under any circumstances; for the disabled and chronically ill, however, dating comes with its own unique set of challenges. Slice and Cupp, who are both disabled, offer this practical guide, the first of its kind, to help people with disabilities and chronic illnesses learn how to navigate dating, marriage, open relationships, and long-term partnerships. Dana Swanson and Courtney Lin narrate, sharing open and honest stories of how people with disabilities and chronic illness participate in the world of dating. Included are stories from the authors’ own lives and the lives of people they interviewed. Swanson and Lin’s lively yet sensitive narration makes the book feel like a conversation with a best friend. Well-researched and thoughtfully compiled, this timely book offers insight into issues that individuals in this community may encounter. Most important, though, this book gives listeners hope and the understanding that they are not alone.
VERDICT An overdue guide for the disabled and chronically ill community that provides invaluable resources and knowledge on so many aspects of relationships. An essential book everywhere.
