Review:
I wasn't sure what I was going to get when I started to read - though I
was good to read about my home town Sydney and knowing about most of the places
written about.
Miranda is a working girl, a high class escort, pleasuring the rich,
famous and not so famous of Sydney, and yes, even though sex and the lifestyle
are a big part of the story, it is not all it is about. We get to see the other
side of Miranda, the normal, regular girl doing the mundane things in life like
the groceries!
I loved the diversity of the 3 main men in Miranda's life - the
underground figure Joe, the nice guy Tom and her gay best friend Charlie.
The Miranda-Joe storyline has a Pretty Womanish feel to it, which is mentioned in the book
Well, it starts that way anyway.....
Nice guy Tom - well, wasn't their a twist in the tale with him!
And Charlie.... we needed to know more about and hear more from Charlie!
I felt that the story was a little slow to get going - the first quarter
felt a little dragged out - but the ending a little rushed, all wrapping up
nicely in the last couple of chapters.
I am looking forward to reading the next 2 books in the series
