Review: Witty and fun

Lucky Girl is in a similar vein to Secret Diary by Belle de Jour, but, we are assured the events are real. In Lucky Girl Violet describes how she ended up working in the sex industry and how fortunate she it.I was expecting a smutty book with a few anecdotes and was pleasantly surprised how witty the book is. Violet has a dry sense of humour and a no nonsense approach to storytelling. Lucky Girl is cleverly written and is really funny.Violet doesn't gloss over the bad parts of working as an escort she merely highlights her choices and her situation. The book is very informative about prostitution and escort services; I for one had no idea being a sex worker was legal in Australia. A lot of people are judgmental about the sex industry and although it's not something I'd given a lot of thought until now, I like to think I'm fairly open minded.Violet's POV is refreshing and interesting. She describes some of her clients and their antics. My favourite stories included 'baby bird' and a brothel bathroom. I'm sure due to the subject matter this won't be everybody's type of book, but I'd happily read a follow up if Violet can find the time in her travels to write one.4 Stars in my Sky!I received a copy in exchange for an honest review!
