This was an interesting book. I found myself more intrigued by the subtext which provided a closer look at the inner workings of the author's mind than in the chopped-up memoirs she put onto the page.

Since watching the first few eps of "Secret Diary of a Callgirl" with Billie Piper, I've been pretty enamored of books about sex workers. So when I saw this one sitting on Da's pile, I borrowed it. It was pretty good, though my big complaint is that she used the word "frisson" far, far too much when other words would have worked just fine; it almost sounds like she's trying to belabor the point that she is as educated as she is. Very interesting. The front cover says, "If you were offered the same choice, are you sure you'd make a different decision?" And it makes you think... would you?
