Adult- Based on a True Story i Name that Book (oktober 2010)

Recensioner

While this is ostensibly a book about the very glamorous high-end of the sex trade, I found most notable its description of anorexia, the most accurate that I have ever seen in print: "The tricky thing about starving yourself is that it starts out feeling terrible and then it feels great until you realize you can't stop."

Interessantes Buch mit einem Einblick in eine fremde Welt.

Ihr Vater hat sie geschlagen und sie wurde adoptiert und nahm Drogen. Dann ist sie sehr schnell in das Leben als Prostituierte herein gerutscht. Das es beim Sultan mit dickem Bankkonto und nicht in der Gosse endete war dann letztlich Glück.

This was quite a moving memoir about the author's international adoption process. It made it more interesting her husband is in a well-known band and that I was interested in her life after reading her first memoir, Some Girls. I enjoyed reading this book and I hope she continues to write.

I enjoyed this book, felt it was honest and heartfelt. I will have to go back and read her first book. Safe to say the reviews are spot on.
