Praise for INSATIABLE - Porn: A Love Story by Asa Akira:

"Akira is not only passionate about the porn industry, she’s shameless, funny and even endearing."
-Susannah Cahalan, New York Post (Best Books of 2014)

“An intimate look at her life. Each chapter is filled with brutal honesty and self-deprecating humor. It’s touching, inspiring, and flies in the face of a lot of people’s preconceptions about the life of an adult film star. What’s most refreshing is that the high points of the book aren’t the doubl

“An intimate look at her life. Each chapter is filled with brutal honesty and self-deprecating humor. It’s touching, inspiring, and flies in the face of a lot of people’s preconceptions about the life of an adult film star. What’s most refreshing is that the high points of the book aren’t the double-penetration and masturbation scenes—even though that stuff is great—it’s her strong storytelling, which makes her struggles and triumphs in the adult film industry super relatable.”
-Erica Euse, Vice

"It is common for mainstream porn stars to explain their choice of profession with some variation on “I just love sex. . . . When Asa Akira says it, though, I really believe it. . . . And yet, no person can act as the flawless representative for an entire group of people — and certainly not while writing a memoir worth reading. Luckily, Akira doesn’t try to do that with her book. . . . All of which is to say, her book is a lot like her porn: raw, brutal and always unflinching.”
-Tracy Clark-Flory, Salon.com

"Candid, funny, sexy, and smart...Akira expertly explores the human side of the sex industry...Shocking and tawdry, but ultimately relatable, this is a tale of a young girl realizing her dreams and navigating dangerous temptations (drugs, hooking, pizza) along the way."
-Royal Young, Interview Magazine

"Insatiable is, at turns, laugh-out loud funny...poignant...and outrageously politically incorrect...But above all else, it’s a brutally honest look at one woman’s journey through the adult industry."
-EJ Dickson, The Daily Dot ...more
