This book is bitter, beautiful, hilarious and honest. It’s full of dykes, deception, drugs, trickery and broken hearts, as well as gorgeous illustrations consisting of a black, white and red color scheme. You get a good glimpse into lesbian and sex work culture, and the illustrations definitely enhance Michelle Tea’s writing. Rent Girl doesn’t portray prostitutes as helpless victims, immoral harlots or idealized heroes; it reveals their humanity and struggles with the moral question of sex work. It will likely challenge your perspective on the sex industry, whether you be for it or against it.
