The author of How Was It for You? is a sex worker.
Let's call her Eve.
Eve is someone's daughter. Someone's partner.
Eve has worked across the sex industry for twenty years: in a brothel, as an escort, in a strip club, online and as a dominatrix. In this candid memoir she reveals all: the good stuff, the bad, and the downright ugly too.
We're with her poolside as she sips Champagne at a wealthy client's Caribbean villa. We scurry with her from a gated mansion as a fun threesome gets out of hand. We watch from the public gallery as she is dragged in and out of court by the law. We perch at her side in a cell as she contemplates the true meaning of freedom. And we're at the brothel when she meets Adam, a punter who turns out to be a keeper.
Honest, eye-opening, full of fury and frequently funny, How Was It for You? is a unique insight into what's happening in society's shadows and an unforgettable walk in someone else's high heels.
