This seemingly fascinating world comes with several dangers not to mention the boozing and partying. Nevertheless, she feels that as always all is a personal choice and it takes one to have a stomach for it.
Unlike most sex-related memoirs, this book doesn’t focus on the salacious details of her clients or their encounters. Instead, it focuses on the relationship between a sex worker and her clients, as well as the emotional and psychological struggles that can accompany this profession. This book is an engrossing read for anyone interested in the sex industry or who is curious about the inner workings of London’s escort culture.
Review of the series
After the massive cry out from the readers, the book became a series that also went on to be extremely successful. It is a fascinating read that will make you rethink your perception of prostitution and sex workers. The book is not for everyone but it is a great conversation starter. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about the sex industry and the men who spend money on it.
The first season of the TV series, adapted from the book, premiered on BBC One in April 2010. A well-known actress started a story where a young medical student who also works as an escort, a profession that she feels is a ‘cleaner, safer and more honest’ option than commercial sex or drugs. She makes between PS50 and PS95 an hour for ‘companionship’. Her clientele ranges from rich businessmen to gangsters and famous pop singers who require discretion
During the first series, she struggles with her work/life balance and is concerned about the effect her secret career may have on her future as a doctor. She is plagued with problems including a drug addiction and losing her children to social services. She is also concerned that her relationship with a man will suffer if his knowledge of her profession becomes public.
In the second series, she begins to feel the effects of her addiction and tries to stop using drugs. She continues to struggle with her work/life balance and finds it increasingly difficult to leave her ‘prostitution’ life behind. She encounters several difficulties, including a man who she falls in love with and a client who is not happy with her performance. She also discovers that a new breed of sex slaves is entering the UK, migrants who are forced into prostituting themselves because of their poverty and desperation.
Overall
Both the book and the series offer a window into the secretive and flamboyant world of the London adult scene. With great detail, the story covers a young student-sex worker’s life goes from good to bad, and so on.
One may hesitate to either watch or read the story. However, I strongly suggest that you forget about stereotyping and simply enjoy the well-written as well as directed story that sheds light on one the life as an escort of a young woman’s struggles, highs, and lows.
Enjoy reading or watching the series. Again, both entertaining and thrilling at the same time.
