100 Book Challenge - Book 14 - Secret Diary of a Call Girl



Book 14/ 100
Book: Secret Diary of a Call Girl
Author: Anonymous (formerly Belle de Jour)
ISBN: 978-0-446-54082-7
Pages: 291

I admit, I wanted to read this book because I love the British TV series starring Billie Piper. And although the book lives up to its steamy reputation, it was somewhat hard to get through.

This book is basically the diary of Belle de Jour, a university graduate who gets into the sex work trade after participating in a threesome where she was paid afterwards, the thrill of it is the key. Wherein we learn how she got into the job, her tips and tricks for great sex, the problems you can encounter, and of course how to fit a love life into the job.

As in a diary, the story is split into months, starting in November and going through to June, we find out about her past loves and partners, the crazy, weird, and downright dirty things her clients want to do.

Okay, rating… 2.5 out of 5, would I recommend it? I dunno, it’s an interesting view on the life of a call girl, and manages to provide some handy dandy tips for your sex life. The book also provides an A to Z of London Sex Work which lends to an interesting read on it’s own.
