Provided by NetgalleyThis is a true story written in first person narrative by two strippers, memoire style. Not only is this an insightful look into this fast pace lifestyle, but it is also very entertaining. The story is very literal and informative, then reminiscing and funny, then informative again. It reads like a how-to become the best male dancer you can be, for men wanting to get into the lifestyle. I was literally laughing out loud at some of the jokes and games they would play on the "rookies." The sexual trysts were pretty much what I was expecting, although knowing it happened in "real life" gives a perception of dirtiness that I don't recognize within fiction.It was hard to tell which author was speaking when and some of the recollections contradicted each other. I wish we could have seen more into their personal family lives to have a look on how that career path affects those relationships. I understand the anonymity the writers needed to keep, which is why they didn't go into those details, but it would have made the story that much more interesting. If you like the movie Magic Mike, this story is another great look into the world of exotic male dancing.
