From there Annika worked her way up to the high-end parlours, agencies and private work in various parts of Australia and internationally. There were car accidents, brushes with death, huge coincidences, very colourful imagery, glow-in-the-dark penises, an unbelievably fortunate sequence of events that let her narrowly escape slavery, and so much more.

I listened to it almost entirely in one sitting, over the course of two days finding it very hard to press pause.Perhaps the best part is the final outcome of the long arduous journey Annika undertakes from her early youth to adulthood and motherhood. She faced the hypocrisy of men around desiring sex, someone to play to act, to be available, but at the same time thinking it is indecent and unacceptable. Well, everyone makes their choices in life, and there are always be positives and drawbacks in each choice. In addition to all of this, I found Cleeve's excessive defensiveness of her former profession a bit overdone. There are so many colourful characters, so many neatly tied up stories - everyone that goes up against her gets their retribution it seems, word-for-word conversations with people she met briefly years ago and they all seemed to perfectly fit with her story.

girls, the parlour bosses, the rip-off merchants, the drug deaths, the white slavery, the discrimination, the corrupt police and politicians, the exotic travel and the money.From wide-eyed innocent to experienced and successful professional, Annika’s story is both shocking and highly entertaining.
