Book Review: B As In Beauty

By: Alberto Ferreras



The story of a fat, downtrodden, depressed and self-hating woman who learns who she really is and gains confidence after becoming a successful member of an escort service. Yeah, I saw that a guy had written this book, and rolled my eyes, too. I thought, "Only a man would think that a woman would realize how great she really is by being paid to fuck old rich guys." Well, that's not really the story here. This character, Beauty ("B"), falls into employment with the agency, where the owner becomes her confidante and coach, if you will. The jobs don't involve actual sex, but she realizes that she has to love herself in order for others to see how wonderful and worthwhile she really is. The clients are the first experiences she's had with men who value her as she looks, extra weight and all.

Ferreras does a remarkably good job presenting the mind of a woman, and I actually forgot that it wasn't written by a female until I closed the cover at the end of the book (which I read in one day).

It's a good one, at least worth checking out from the library.
