Loved it... the Truth and honesty ... ( )
  SamQTrust | Oct 22, 2021 |
So I read this probably when I was far too young to read it but I feel like that's sort of what books are for, in a way.

They allow us to explore avenues or ideas that we wouldn't have access to otherwise.

I remember liking this book and finding it interesting (even though it's been so many years ago since I read it, wow) although I feel like the main narrator was rather pretentious at parts. I remember a lot of pseudonyms and all-knowingness that really affected the way that I read the book. For so much of it I felt like I was being talked at rather than shown so much of her world.

I feel like if I were to reread it I would be much, much more critical of the author and the book itself but at the time it was an interesting diversion and something that really satisfied me.

But, in future I will definitely be looking for books that are more sex-positive, more critical and more inclusive and intersectional. c: ( )

A very revealing look at what it's actually like to work as a call girl. I was absolutely fascinated. Gritty and realistic, but she doesn't get too much into the details of the hours spent sexually with clients. I really didn't want to put it down. ( )

interesting smart read, bu she really got lucky. I missed more info about bad calls and bad experience from others. She made it look so simple and easy that it is almost too inviting for others to try it too. ( )
