Some Girls: My Life in a Harem by Jillian Lauren

3.0

I read this book curious as to why a smart American teenager would sign up to be a stripper, hooker and then a well-paid woman in a harem. Unfortunately, I felt as puzzled after reading the book as I did before. The author of this memoir clearly has issues with feeling abandoned by her birth mother and with self-loathing. While her adopted father didn't seem the best, she seemed to be loved as a child.

It seems as if the author is a better-adjusted adult than she was in her late teens/early twenties, and for that we can all be grateful.
