Okay people, so I just finished reading the Callgirl book last night, so here's the gist of it. The girl needs money cuz her boyfriend cheated, wiped out all her money, and left for the other side of the country. She needed to make money cuz she was waaaay in debt. AND that bitch stole her money.
So she becomes a callgirl, she talks about her first night, all her experiences along the way, the night she almost got arrested, her use of crack/cocaine, and a few of the stories of the people she loved or was close to and what had happened to them in their experiences. I got 15 minutes, people, so bear with me.
As she is also a college lecturer, it talks about her work experiences. She gives a list in the end of websites, books, and novels for further research. For all curiosity, I'm gonna put up the links for you guys at the bottom. PEACE!!

A Note
As I said on My Blog (my primary blog for my poems), my blog will not be used only for poetry. I made this blog so that you can follow me as I read thick as novels such as The Dictionary (kidding) and you can get sneak peeks of what I'm writing in my attempt to write a novel series. Right now, I'm reading a book called Callgirl: Confessions of an Ivy League Lady of Pleasure by Jeanette Angell. I borrowed it from my friend Sami. It's basically a book porno with a purpose. But I really like it (in a non-perv way). It's about this girl who teaches lectures for college students in the daytime because she's an aspiring college professor, but her "Rat Bastard" ex-boyfriend cheated on her and stole all her money and left for the other side of the country. She's already in a ton of debt, so she becomes a callgirl. It's all of Jen's real-life experiences. All she changed was the names. Except her own. I don't have much time, because I'm not supposed to be online right now, so I'll talk more about the book tomorrow. So enjoy this random picture that I post at the bottom somewhere. Night!!
