The difficulty with a book like this is, since there are dozens of writers with varying stories, some of them I loved and some of them I couldn't stand. However, I felt the need to finish the book because I was worried if I didn't, I would miss my favorite story! I love what Sterry did, putting this compilation together and giving a voice to so many different sex workers. It really does run the gamut and challenge some stereotypes. I admire his attempt to uncover the different worlds of sex workers, because I agree that there is very little middle ground for street whores and educated high class escorts & prostitutes. Definitely worth reading, some of the stories are wonderful, and all of them are eye-opening.
