The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl by Belle de Jour
4.0
This was a light hearted change from the series I've been reading recently in that there is nothing deeper than Belle's contemplation of sex, being paid for sex, the morals around being paid for sex, and where Belle fits in the world as a callgirl.
I immensely enjoyed the way things were listed. I enjoyed the journal entry structure, the randomness that comes with being a journal entry, and that we never really got the full story on anything.
I read this a few years ago when I potentially wasn't open to reading book about sex and relationships that is so blasé in the view of these things. Now, I find it interesting to be inside Belle's head and intrigued at looking at things from her point of view. I still find her views to be blasé and somewhat narcissistic but I guess that is par for someone who charges for what most of us give out for free.
I loved the male characters, in particular the A's. I thought they were beautifully male and such a good contrast of each other and Belle. At times they seemed her moral guide at times whether for good or worse.
Obviously this is not a book about a corner walking whore but a more upper class whore. Easy reading, fluffy and entertaining, the right amount of smut, and enough pop philosophy and psychology to get you thinking.
