I really didn’t know what to expect when I started to read this book. I had some thoughts that maybe this would play out to be a mystery, but this book was nothing of the sort. Softcore is a look into the life of a sex worker that focuses on the emotions and thoughts of the sex worker rather than the work itself. It is such a detailed story and does an amazing job humanizing all the characters in a setting that people will always dehumanize. While there are some plot points that are present throughout the novel, it is mainly a look inside the characters life and mental health and how the main characters job impacts it.
The audiobook was a great listen, and the tone of the narrator and story really reminded me of the book Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily Austin. It really felt like you were being told what was happening from the main character herself in the audiobook.
I only wish that the ending was a bit clearer and wrapped up some of the plot points in the book better, but it does make sense with the rest of the story why it ended the way it did.
Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the advanced audio-copy.
