I like grey and gritty stories, and this is an excellent one. Lauri describes the life of an exotic dancer, with honesty, no self-pity, and with a strange detachment which I recognize from having had acquaintances who were sex workers. It explores with eyes wide open the fine line between pole/lap dancing and prostitution in the mind of the clients, and it seems from reading it, that the protagonist has given up on the idea that love and sex can sometimes work together. It is a feat to make the reader see this, and offer a glimpse into a real if grimy world, in full consciousness.
