3.0

This is honestly the perfect length for this story; sometimes I’ll finish a short story and wish there was more, but I think this tied everything up in a succinct way.

The first half of the book was more interesting and engaging, and there were too many strange twists by the end that I wasn’t quite sure what to believe, like the main character, but overall a decent enough story for a sunny afternoon.

Une mise en scène intéressante mais une fin beaucoup trop ouverte à mon goût ... j'ai eu l'impression de lire le début d'un roman qui n'a jamais été complété.

Everyone who wants to write about a sex worker needs to take notes on this book. The way she writes a sex worker as a 3D, flawed, interesting person that isn’t a sad victim is so refreshing and funny and believable. Loved it.

A nice idea, but would have worked better as an actual book or at least a longer novella, felt too short and rushed. The characters were interesting but under-developed.
