I wasn't too sure what to expect from this story at first because I really don't like books that are written as journal entries but I was surprised as I felt that I was able to relate to this person, I had a friend who had the same addiction and often times a lot of things she would tell me that would involve her love life, or just her whole thought process would have me looking at her like she had two heads I liked the honesty in it although I didn't always agree with her actions I also knew a lot of it is the drug taking over when I looked her up only to find that she STILL does this for a living I wasnt surprised she is really okay with what she does and her drug problem and I think that is how some users feel and are too scared to admit becasue they know they shouldn't feel that way about it. I admire her honesty throughout the whole book.

Ashly has produced an unfiltered account of her life over the past few years and how her addiction to drugs has affected her relationships with men and family. It is very fascinating. If you're looking for a fairy tale-type of story, this isn't it. Although she describes some happy and positive experiences at times in the book, some of her relationships didn't end well. I hope she decides to write another book soon, describing her experiences since last year and (hopefully) what has happened since her book was published. This book and download is one of the most unique stories you'll ever read.

Although I'm not an addict, I've been very close to a brilliant addict for many years (not Ashly!). One thing I've learned during my years visiting my addict's friends who were in recovery: There are many brilliant people who are addicts. Ashly Lorenzana is obviously one of those people, who is also willing to share her experiences. If you read this Kindle book, first of all, you won't be able to put it down (I know I couldn't). Second, you'll come away with a new sense of appreciation for folks that are compelled to use, and do other things to support their addiction. Thirdly, you'll realize that addicts are people too, with sometimes extremely strong emotions, stemming from a chaotic world of drugs, sex, interesting relationships (to say the least), and last but not least, love.

Ashly, if you read this, I want you to know I really appreciated reading your book, it has special meaning for me, having loved an addict myself, and I hope and wish the best for you in life.

This book was written as journal which makes it hard to follow. The book spends a lot of time just being in Ashley's head, meaning the author explains how she views the world along with her random personal thoughts. If you like a book that is more philosophical than this book is for you but if you like a book that gets you from one point to the next than this book is not for you. Because the book is hard to follow I rated it three stars.

However, I commend anyone for creating a book so the book is at least worth previewing to see if it matches your preferences.

"I read this book with a very open mind. The author wrote this in the many voices of her personas.

This is an emotionally difficult read. At times rambling, ranting, angry, loving, hateful and forgiving. This author has seen a lifetime of emotions, drama, stress, depression and dysfunction...

"...This body of work came across my path, colliding square with my current vessel of thought and emotion with an irresistible force that gifted me with one of those moments of awareness saturated with conscious recognition of myself being alive right now with new knowledge about this self that could only have be learned by a collision in the crossroads with the author's story."

"A good book that I am happy to have read. It remindede me in places of a Lydia Lunch book. It had that same feel. "

"The material is so intimate and can be heart-breaking. This book relays some tumultuous times over the author's young life. She really opened herself up to the world and I thank her for that. I am glad I read this."

"Sex, Drugs & Being an Escort is the first book like this that I have read. I found it very moving and heart wrenching."

"This book was an interesting glimpse into the life and psyche of a lady who has ventured into the dangerous and crazy world of Sex, Drugs & Being An Escort."

"What is in this book is definitely raw, and perhaps a bit too raw. Picture yourself finding someone's journal on the subway or bus and you begin to read. You don't know the person and therefore some of what you read might not make sense, but your mind wanders and can start to put the pieces together."

"Ashley is a unique young woman who took the lemons of her childhood and made them into lemonade."

There's a new trend in the world's oldest profession. Sex for sale online, and there's not much local law enforcement agencies can do about it.

This book is one woman's attempt at revealing the personal details of her life and her work as an escort in the digital age.
