Even considering the subject matter, this book was just plain vulgar. The crudeness is worst in the beginning, but it never really gets better. I was shocked when I noticed a study guide for book clubs. Not because it's about prostitution, but because of the crudeness. If the author got $1 for every use of the f-word, she'd retire rich. As other reviewers have noticed, the plot is a little far-fetched in places, most of it being a set-up to get her into someone else's bed. Every now and then the writing seemed juvenile, as though a teen-ager wrote it. I don't recommend.
