I talked about this book so much that my husband picked it up out of curiosity, and that's a solid review right there!
This is an incredible book; it highlights the plight of sex workers in a fictional UK, where two sex workers are trying to make ends meet, while a third journalist works hard to end their industry. If you've ever thought of sex work or prostitution in black and white terms, this book will change your mind. The book is complex, the characters are nuanced, and oh so human! This is one of those that will really make you think about why people resort to sex work, and under what conditions they work.
There is quite something that didn't really work for me and I can't put finger on it. It might have been that one of the character is less drawn out than the other two, and parts of the ending felt really rushed but I still really enjoyed it.
