Date Me

By Kristin Beale

A comic collection that tells stories of the unique, awkward, and downright funny dating and social interactions that happen when you’re in a wheelchair.

Dating is hard. Throw in the variable of a wheelchair and the “hard” becomes “almost not worth it.” Kristin Beale shares stories of her crazy family, the unique and often lousy ways people interact with her because of her disability, and her often failed attempts at dating in a wheelchair with a strained, but ongoing determination not to give up. Relatable for many people who have dated in the tweny-first century, Date Me offers a different perspective from a wheelchair user and how to interact with them. With a few extra indiscriminate stories thrown in, Kristin’s stories keep readers entertained as she reveals the struggles and triumphs of living in a wheelchair in today’s world.

Reviews for Date Me

[villemezbrown · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This collection of autobiographical strips has some scathing insights into how awful and casually cruel people can be to individuals in wheelchairs. Unfortunately though, the book mostly consists of unfunny, repetitive and confusing gags about fathers, dating, dogs and other slice of life sort of things.
