Secret Diary of a Call Girl is based on a blog written and published by a real London call girl. The purpose of this book is to reveal the character and life of Belle. Belle is a young twenties-something, college educated, young woman who cannot find a job. She likes sex and after a spontaneous threesome, she finds a service on a website and begins a secret career as a call girl. I read the book after watching the Showtime series on HBO. I like the series better. The Belle on the series is a more likeable person and her adventures are sexy and funny. Although probably more authentic, the book is disgusting and difficult to follow. I think it was written more for shock value than entertainment. The author is very blunt and revealing about her life. Belle has a lot of problems and issues with men and alcohol. She likes to be hit during sex and will try anything. You can get a good idea of what her life is like as a call girl and it isn’t pretty. Nevertheless, she is upbeat and lighthearted. Each chapter/month begins with Belle’s ABC’s of London Sex Work”. The diary begins in November as Belle writes of sharing a fantasy with a client and proceeds through June. During this six month period, Belle bluntly reveals the details of her life as she tried to balance her love life with her working sex life. It was hard to finish this book – it was boring at the end. When she talks about her boyfriends, it is very confusing because she calls them by initials and numbers. It is hard to remember who each one is. Reading about the weird and shocking desires of her clients becomes tiring. Some danger or suspense would have been an improvement.Read full review

I CAN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. IT CAPTURES YOU FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. I LOVE THAT THE HER LIFE IS SO WELL INTERPRETED IN THE SHOW AS WELL. IT MAKES IT EASIER TO IMAGINE HER EVERY MOMENT. THIS BOOK HAS PASSION AND INTENSITY. THE WAY SHE EXPLAINS HER LIFESTYLE MAKES IT SEEM SO GREAT. THE FREEDOM IN HER SEXUAL EXPRESSION IS INVIGORATING. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO FEEL SEDUCED BY THE LOVELY BELLE DE JOUR
I love this book because I am very interested in the taboo things that have to do with life, and Belle does not hold back on her expilcitness and true feelings of all of her sexual escapades. She is absolutely not afraid to tell you exactly who she did it with and in detail what it was that they did....I love it!!!!!!
Well I watch the series..but whoa the book is very nice and so much better. It really goes into detaila nd is very funny and witty. A fun light read that has a deep insight into men and the different tastes thereof...
