Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper

Wow, this was really poorly written. Which is weird, since this is the woman who wrote the screenplay for Juno - which was fantastic. To be fair, I think the book is best described as a train wreck. Terribly written, unnecessarily graphic (I recognize that it's a book about stripping, and some things need to be graphic to get the point across, but there is absolutely no need to describe a woman's brown lip liner as 'scat-colored' - that's just nasty.) ... but I couldn't look away. I learned some things that were interesting, how the money changes hands at strip clubs, who gets what percentage, etc. What the different rooms and types of dances are... How strange some people really are. But, I have to imagine that a book written on this topic by a good writer would be significantly more interesting to read than this one.
