Hooked: Confessions of a London Call Girl
In Hooked , reformed addict Clare Gee draws on her own experiences of cocaine addiction, alcoholism and prostitution in telling the sensational story of a woman living on the edge.Emotionally scarred by having never known her mother, Katie escapes to London and immerses herself in a seedy world of drugs, drink and sex, chasing happiness in the pubs and clubs, and snorting cocaine in private members' bars with her rich punters.Finding herself in a cycle of prostitution and unable to break free, she turns to drug smuggling and becomes embroiled in a bigamous marriage in an attempt to secure some emotional stability. From this dark emotional pit, Katie starts her painful journey back to 'wellness' and attempts to rid herself of her addictions for good.Hooked is a graphic tale of how life as a prostitute really is and what can happen when we search for happiness outside of ourselves. It is a poignant reminder that things can always get better, as long as we remember that when it's time to leave the party, it's time.

This book was... I won't say really good because it had some very upsetting things happen in it but it was interesting. This book really wasn't anything I could relate to (phew), I grew up in a loving, warm home with stable parents. I didn't have mommy and daddy issues which led to self destructive behaviour like boozing excessively and snorting cocaine and becoming a hooker. It was not a very happy book, although the ending was hopeful. The whole time I was rooting for Katie to stop listening to her demons, or Goblin Kate, and get her life in order which I know is easier said than done. An interesting perspective for sure. I actually kind of like books that I can't relate to, they usually make me grateful for the life I have.

A little trashy of a story. It was definitely eye-opening.
