Review: Grace, humor and grittiness

In Amber Lin's debut novel Giving it Up, hooker with-a-heart Shelly Laurent was a fascinating secondary character. I'm so glad Amber decided to give Shelly her own book. In Selling Out, Shelly teams up with Luke, a detective to track down the man who has targeted her and in doing so, discovers the keys to her past and Luke's. Selling Out is no "Pretty Woman" novel, although Shelly is beautiful, but Amber Lin presents the seedy, gritty truth of what prostitution is, even for a high-class call girl like Shelly. Amber Lin writes with grace and humor about two damaged souls, creating a compelling read.
