Spent by Antonia Crane

dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

4.25

Well-written and engaging, Spent focuses on the author's experiences as a sex worker and her tumultuous, loving and intricate relationship with her mother. I deeply appreciated Crane's ability to humanize the variety of individuals who illustrate the scenes of her memoir. While Spent feels scary, mucky and disheartening at times, Crane imparts both empathy and beauty into this world that we generally seem more prone to ignore.
