I wasn't sure what to expect heading into this one, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a funny MC in a crappy situation who keeps finding ways to make things work. The discourse on how capitalism isn't set up to support women, the classism in health care, and the general disdain people have for sex work was poignant and thought provoking in a lot of ways. The switching between 1st and 3rd person narration didn't bother me via audio, but it could be distracting for some readers. There are some parts of the book about writing and characters that are very meta, and while it was tempting to get sucked into the inception of it all, I decided to take the story at face value and just enjoy the ride.
