Going Down

Jennifer Belle

"It wasn't erotica, but it was kind of like walked the line of being a little like off, like a little naughty. The main character is a prostitute, and it was kind of like exciting. I wouldn't do some of the things that this girl did, but I definitely wanted to like read about her life and her story and the decisions that she was making.

So this girl basically decides one day that she's gonna be a call girl, and it kind of goes through all of her experiences of having an employer, having to deal with a madam, having to deal with somebody that she's dating or that she's pursuing. She's like a young girl, and she's kind of like figuring herself out and what she wants to do with her life and who she wants to be. I related to it a lot - not because like I think I'm gonna go and do something kind of wild and crazy with my life like that, but just you know - when you're in your 20's or even your late teens like this girl, there's lots that you're unsure of and that you're just kind of like testing the waters and going, "Oh, could I be this? Does that fit? Is that who I am?"

This is like a fun summer read if you are going on vacation or you're looking for something kind of girly, something that you're not gonna have to think a lot about. When I choose to read books, sometimes I am - I read something because I want to get something out of it and I want to improve my life in some way or learn about something new; and then sometimes I read just because it's like great entertainment. It's better than TV, and this was a book for entertainment. I would give this book three out of five stars."
