The Bottom Line
The Bottom Line is an anthology based on ten different women from different walks of life who end up in the strip club. Some make it out in good graces while others get swallowed up by the game. Sex, drugs, greed, and envy are all a part of the game beyond the pole, but through it all, the money is the bottom line!

This title illustrates an unapologetic, raw insight into the exotic dancer lifestyle. The P-Valley & Players Club vibes run rampant throughout this book. With a focus on the hustle of making money in an often harsh & unforgiving world, the book delves into the strength & resilience required to survive & thrive in such a high-stakes environment. The mantra "Make that money, don’t let it make you" echoes throughout, underscoring the internal conflict many dancers face: how to stay true to yourself while navigating a world that constantly tests your limits.
What the book does well is highlight the complexities of this lifestyle, not just as a means to an end but as a potential trap where personal identity & self-worth can easily get lost in the pursuit of financial success. Myree's 10 seperate narratives challenge readers to question whether the ends justify the means. The tension between survival & self-preservation is ever-present, forcing the characters (& by extension, the reader) to grapple with the cost of success.
Ultimately, The Bottom Line offers an engaging & thought-provoking look at a world that is often misunderstood, criticized & sensationalized. It leaves you questioning: In the race to make it, can you keep your soul intact?
SN: I wanted TIP to tell us about the time she fell off the pole & almost died. But, she didn't share. So, I can't lie & say I'm not disappointed that she didn't. Maybe next book?

I need another book from her now. This book was an amazing eye opener in to the striper world. I also agree strippers are strong people. This book reminds you that they people too with a story to tell. And the stories are amazing!
