I almost found this entertaining...but knowing that the exploits of the main character are simply thinly-veiled fictionalized accounts of the author's own experiences, I found the story a bit sad and a bit...disappointing. I mean, seriously?? I don't quite understand how any woman could receive money, jobs, drugs, gifts, etc. in exchange for (often extramarital) sex and not acknowledge that she just might be a prostitute - a well-compensated, high-living one, granted, but a prostitute nonetheless. By all means, if that's the lifestyle someone wants, fine...but call it what it is. In our modern society, don't try to convince the readers that it tooks months and months of living like that before the revelation of, "could I be a prostitute?" occurred.
