Some Girls: My Life in a Harem by Jillian Lauren
5.0
Fascinating book where the author is self-aware and honest. She is strong and finds ways to succeed, despite a lot of adversity.
It is sad and illuminating how much she blames herself for her self-destructive behaviors, even though it's pretty clear that those are coping mechanisms from abuse and exploitation.
The book strikes a good balance, so that the descriptions of the Brunei harem are not ostentatious nor self-pitying.
