The Girlfriend Experience/Rebecca Dakin - book feedback

Thank you all for your kind emails and feedback :) Here's some bits of emails I've received about the book. If anyone would like to add their thoughts on my book to this thread please do, and even better Amazon reviews will be very much appreciated :)

It really makes fascinating reading - one of the most interesting I have read .... extremely well written and with a lovely writing style. You come across as as in "real" life a very caring person, with a lovely sense of humour. I'd say that if you took up writing full time you'd do very very well indeed. I'm sure you could write a few "fiction" romances for Mills and Boon just concentrating on your experiences in escorting alone!

I hope you will write at least one more book if not a series. Can't wait for another one though I am sure it must have been very time consuming. Of course it is also very 'brave' of you to write under your real name and I am sure that this book will help quite a number of other young women to see that escorting, if properly researched and appropriate safety precaustions taken can be a pretty rewarding occupation for those with talent and those who care about their clients.

I've just finished reading a great book I just had to tell you about, I think you might know it - The Girlfriend Experience. Congratulations on having the courage to put in to writing your story, I found the book at times challenging, enlightening and thought provoking.

If the book helps to de-mystify the escort profession, then that´s great. I always get the impression that people think there are only two types of escorts: The ones who are forced into it by poverty, pimps, drugs or a combination of those factors and the ones who live a life of luxury and glamour. And whilst there surely are a lot (unfortunately) who fall into the first category, there are probably only very few who fall into the latter category.

However, only very few people seem to realise those who have freely chosen to do this (although they are well-educated and have other opportunities) either as a full-time profession, a part-time job to augment their income or a secret hobby to spice up their not just their wallets but also their lives. Maybe if people were more aware of this part of the "market", then they would also see punters in a different light and not just as scum.

Just wanted to say I'm half way through reading your book and think it's absolutely brilliant - I love your honesty and frankness! Well done hun and good luck for the future - Shame I never got the chance to meet you whilst you was working.

One of my regulars J that I wrote about in my book text me to say.... ' Reading with aprehension, intrigue and much fondness.'

J has since emailed me...

Despite my reservations about the book, you have done a good job maid, I would even go as far to say its quite a brilliant 'OK' !
I've known you now for over 5 years a time in my life where things have not been particularly good for me but you've made me enjoy life and laugh again. Whatever the future holds there will always be a chapter in my life for you with very fond memories.
