I had no intention of reading this book right away, but I picked it up, read the first page, and that was that. The book is fairly entertaining at times, but it's a lot of fluff with very little substance. And the final few chapters were horribly rushed and didn't have much explanation at all. The author put the character into a potential world of trouble, and then the next six months of her life were conveniently skipped, telling the reader nothing about what had happened. Very disappointing. ( )

I didn't like this book much. It is rather predictable and boring. There is no real story and the storylines that are there aren't finished. We never get to know how it ends with Nancy's colleague and her stalker, while that is the only thing that kept me reading. And why is Nancy's sister-in-law acting so suspicious? Tracy Quan raises a lot of questions and answers none of them. ( )

This semi-memoir is the mildly entertaining tale of the life of a Manhattan call girl. The first half of the book is the best as the author describes the ins and outs of the girls' lives and schedules, keeping fit and limber, and their posh lifestyle. It tends to drag towards the middle as the characters worry about confessing their true work to loved ones, obsessive johns, etc. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0609810103, Paperback)

Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl is a wonderfully intelligent, sexually frank, rollicking novel that introduces us to Nancy Chan, a turn-of-the-millennium call girl who lives and works on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Nancy is full of contradictory desires; she frequently has to choose between making love and making money. On good days, she gets to do both. Surrounded by devoted, wealthy, and powerful johns, some of whom want more than just sex, and caught between two all-consuming call girl friends who complicate her life, Nancy navigates the tricky currents of the world’s oldest profession. With one foot in the bedrooms of her rich and demanding clients and one in the straight world of her unwitting fiancé, who has started to apartment-hunt and arrange a wedding, Nancy keeps her two worlds from colliding in her inimitable style.
