Resena: Some Girls: My Life in a Harem
Difficult to put this book down. How an adopted girl from a Jewish background became a stripper and an escort, and as if that were not enough- a harem girl of a prince! Lauren is a gifted writer, and this story is so amazing, it is truly a jaw-dropper. Lauren dared to tread- at quite a young age- where most of us would not even think about going! And the reality of life as a harem girl is so different than what I had thought it might be. If you love clothes and jewelry, you have to read about some of the harem girls shopping sprees and gifts! In exchange though, the girls were virtually prisoners, with little freedom, and the 24/7 surveillance of them would have unnerved anyone. The girls are pitted against each other to gain the favor of the prince. Lauren showed she had true courage throughout the book, and thankfully managed to escape the direction her life was heading. This was one of the most entertaining and riveting books I have read in the past few years!

The book is not intended to read like an erotic romance novel, and thankfully doesn't. Instead it offers a rather analytical view of why she was such a wild teenager, with problems ranging from substance abuse and eating disorders. Her issues with her volatile father and him cutting her off financially led to her becoming a stripper, which led to other things. She was in the harem for quite a while before it dawned on her that it was even a harem- they had been told they would be paid to party. I suspect she waited to tell the story due to the piles of unreported cash she earned. I would have liked more details- I don't think she ever said exactly how long she was there the first time, or how much money she made. If you have teenage girls, you really should read this!
and This story bills itself as about one girl's life in a modern day harem.
