This book basically is a diary account of what is going on in this art student's life. She desperately wants to buy a new camera to take on a trip to Venice to capture all the art. Instead of waiting forever slowly accumulating money she decided to get her money faster. I found it to be funny and informative as she talks about her clients at work and her school encounters. There's no fluff in this like there is in a lot of stories about brothels. It's just straight up what's going on. The writing style makes it easy to read--I couldn't put it down.

Confessions of a Working Girl was a quick, interesting read. Giving insight into a career that thankfully I know little about. I found it curious the author spends quite a bit of time glorifying prostitution, glossing over and rarely mentioning the uglier sides of the profession; including the drudgery and mental damage that must come from selling your body to anyone for cash. I'd love to hear a follow up from her a decade or two from now.

This was a fun and interesting book. I wish it was full of more detail on both activities and the business. Over all it was enjoyable book that I will read again.
