I live in Minneapolis so this book was especially interesting because it is set in the seedy strip club scene of downtown Minneapolis. Recently, Diablo Cody has been know for movies (Juno) and tv shows (The United States of Tara), but this book was a really in depth and honest reflection of what it is like to be an exotic dancer. As a female working in the business world, I understood why Cody decided to make the jump from an ad agency into the darker world of stripping. She portrayed her emotions, relationships with other dancers and her boyfriend, living in Minneapolis, and her overall reactions to her year away from the conventional world in an intriguing way. By the end of the book I was ready to switch to another subject, but overall I loved this book!
