Ok this book was seriously good! The photos and short chapters made it a pretty quick and easy read, I read it in one sitting. Andrea gives an absolutely fascinating look into her life of an escort, and then a stripper, both the good parts and bad parts, and some funny parts too. The way she writes is fantastic, and in her stories she also challenges some of the stereotypes and prejudices society has about sex work. I definitely am thinking differently about some of these things now after reading this book, and I really hope she writes more as she is a very talented writer. Definitely recommend!!

This memoir is the most thought provoking, creative, compelling piece of literature and art I have ever read. Andrea does a wonderful job at telling us about her life as well as exploring and depicting sex work. This book has made me take another look at sex work as a whole. It is a career and people who choose this line of work do not have something wrong with them, sometimes nothing happened in their life to lead them down this path and thinking that way is continuing a prejudicial and judgmental mindset. My favourite part of the book was the quote “rape is still rape even if you pay for it”. I thought this was so inspiring because so many people think that just because they choose to work a high risk job like sex work they deserve everything that comes to them. But at the end of the day just like Andrea says consent is still consent. No one ever deserves to be assaulted or rape because of the job that they choose to work. I believe that if you choose to read any memoirs this is this one for you. Women are powerful and everyone deserves respect.
