Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.
I couldn't quite get into the book...suffice to say I have not yet finished it but will give it another go.

This interesting autobiography is written by Bambi Rehab and follows her life from a troubled childhood through her work as a stripper and then onto a more conventional career. It is at once an unflinching, frank account of her work in this provocative field and a story of evolution. Engrossing read but not for the faint at heart.

Stripping Like Nobody's Business is basically Bambi Rehak's autobiography from birth until the Twin Towers attack in 2001, mostly her years as a stripper in low rent and even lower rent clubs in America. Bambi,and yes that is her real name, had a 1960's childhood straight out of Hillbilly Elegy , living in a home without electricity and running water let alone "luxuries" like a phone or TV.

With her Mother "entertaining" a constant stream of men friends and the home in constant chaos part 1 of the book is about Bambi's early years where she has to grow up very quickly. Despite her best efforts to take on the matriarchal role she feels guilty for everything that goes wrong, something enthusiastically confirmed by her wayward parent.

Part 2 tells how out of desperation Bambi turns to stripping to survive and there's an eye-opening insight into the weird and not so wonderful world of strip clubs where the very worst of human nature is on display both sides of the changing room walls.

Part 3 is about Bambi discovering her love of travel,and it seems Wedding Cake, as she clocks up no less than 4 disastrous marriages.

This book is quite a ride, despite being very much a stream of consciousness memoir and often quite random it's very entertaining and ultimately uplifting when Bambi realises that life is not all about pleasing other people as she'd been brought up to believe and she finds success in a more conventional field.
Bambi is a straight talker and there's quite often "too much information" about the workings of the female body. She's lived quite a life in places and situations where others can and do crash and burn, Bambi Rehak is a survivor .

A great book but definitely not for the prudish.
