An interesting and entertaining view into the life of a stripper. The memoir was written by the screenwriter for Juno (I didn't realize this when I picked it up though). There is a bit of redemption towards the end of the story but the journey to that point is a great one. One I wouldn't chose but an interesting choice for someone else. I will never look at the exotic dance profession the same way again. ( )

A look into the world of stripping. This was a fun and interesting read. Made me laugh out loud at times. For some it may be a little graphic at times, but that should be expected. ( )

Cody is a really good writer which enabled me to to finish the book in a couple of days. She is hip without being annoying or pretentious and doesn't glamorize stripping. She does a good job at giving the reader a nice voyeuristic look on what goes inside those dark facade buildings. ( )

This was a fast and interesting read. However, I learned far more about strippers and "sex workers" than I ever wanted to know! Some parts were a little too graphic, but overall it was a good book! ( )

I enjoyed this book immensely and was disappointed when it ended! By the author of the screenplay "Juno", this memoir is at times educational, gross, interesting and hilarious. Cody has written about the year she decided to work in various areas of the sex industry. Most of the time she worked as a conventional dancer (stripper) but she held other jobs as well. It is interesting to read not only about her jobs but her opinion of them and how her point of view changed over time. I highly recommend it to all who are not squeamish, as the life of a sex industry employee can be a bit disgusting at times! ( )
