Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper by Diablo Cody

3.0

---

Diablo Cody was a college educated girl from the Midwest who needed to break out of her "average, always do the right thing" life at 24. On an impulse, Cody decided to try stripping and so started a year long journey working in strip clubs and a sex shop that led to this break-out memoir Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper. I can completely relate Cody's pre-stripping life, but there is no way in a million years I could have ever become comfortable with the things she did in the name of tackling the things that terrify us. It was a fascinating read including a near vomit-inducing moment, so beware.

P.S. Dear Diablo, Iowa is not a "dank armpit". :-P
