I laughed. I cried. I swore.
This is a book that made me FEEL. ups, downs, highs and lows. It was REAL. no sugarcoating, no skipping the ugly parts. It was such a refreshing book to read!
I’d like to say I’m a “you do you” feminist, and this book made me so angry on behalf of those trying to make a living. Angry at the government. Angry T those whose job it is to “serve and protect”. Angry at johns. Angry at abusers. But I also felt love. For Eve. For others in her situation. For those dealt a bad hand, who still strive to kick ass and take names!
Eve is a strong character. A lovable character. And, more importantly, a RELATABLE character. There will be parts of her story that anyone can relate to! A fantastic read!

This is a memoir written by a sex worker about the industry in the UK. It's fairly recent as discusses the effect of the pandemic. It's an interesting read from an interesting perspective, it's not overly sensational and looks at the impact current policing has on the industry. It's worth a read.

A human perspective on the realities of sex work from the inside that we rarely see. I’m grateful to “Eve” for opening her life to us - past and present - with a series of funny, infuriating and tender stories. Also very interesting to see how some feminist, conservative and/or legal views practiced by people who have never done sex work can truly harm the people they purport to protect.

This is a good book to read if you want a very honest insight into a sex workers life. Lots of funny anecdotes. Would recommend. I'm not sure I like the front cover.
