A review by fangirljeanne
Dirty Little Secret by Kendall Ryan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.
DNF
I enjoyed the writing and characters, but the anti-sex work slurs and sentiment is just so distracting. It’s so hypocritical considering the main characters are actively in sex work. But of course the story perpetuates misinformation about sex work that’s based more in classism and misogyny that actual fact. That’s a huge pet peeve of mine. Condemning sex work in a book about sex workers, that pins it’s entire “sexy scenario” on the titillating thrill of being a sex worker while looking down on sex work and sex workers.
