The writing in this book is both sublime and gritty, and it will make you cry. Especially if you are queer, a queer femme, or have ever been a sex worker; especially if you are all three.

My only complaint is that it was too short, I could spend many more hours reading Amber Dawn's stories and poetry. Wonderful work from a modern queer feminist who discusses gritty, titillating and sometimes terrifying stories of her work as a Canadian sex worker.

I read this book for school in parts, however ended up reading the whole thing. It has a mix of poetry, storytelling type format, & uses second point of view towards the end. It was the brutal truth of being a sex worker and there’s a lot of graphic scenes in it, however it really gives perspective. In relation to sex work in the memoir, it deals with topic of belonging and LGTBQ+. A really great and interesting read.

Poetry tends to go over my head, but the essays in this collection are, for the most part, very beautiful.

A really interesting look at the life of a queer sex worker through poetry. Read for a class, and thoroughly enjoyed the style and perspective.
