Pins by Jessica McHugh
3.0
*I received a free ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review*
I'm not sure yet how to rate this book. Parts of it were really good, and others left me quite confused. I need to go over my notes and highlights before I can write a full review. This and other reviews can also be found on my blog (un)Conventional Bookviews.
PINS is a gritty place but it seems to be full of life-lessons, both for Birdie and her fellow strippers. Birdie learns to be a lot more accepting, both of herself and of the girls she works with, and I think the story also shows readers that strippers are human, too! I believe that a lot of people tend to discard strippers as being one-dimensional, and that they strip because they are superficial and can’t really get another job.
I thought my English was close to perfect, even if it isn’t my mother tongue, however, I have learned quite a few new words for female genitals in this book! :) The way the girls talked among them, was pretty harsh, but also very honest, and I have always appreciated honesty, even if it sometimes hurts to hear (or read).
