Marika Christian's book made me laugh from the very beginning. Her confrontation with the boss who didn't know her name was priceless. We have all felt invisible at one time or another in our lives, and it was obviously Emily's time to blow. Unfortunately, her boss does not take kindly to being yelled at, and she is escorted out of the building. Desperate to find a new job, she decides to give acting a try...or more specifically, phone sex "acting!" Anyone who has any illusions about "sex kittens" should not read this book. Emily got her first night's training from a 400 pound gay man who used an electric toothbrush to simulate vibrator sounds. Oh yeah, he explained to his callers that he was a Britney Spears look alike.
Emily takes to this job and its benefits, until one of her clients gets murdered, and she decides to investigate the crime. Suddenly she is dealing with a new job, old friends, a new boyfriend and a murder. We watch as she deals with some unsavory people and gets into some really uncomfortably dangerous situations.
Emily is a very relatable heroine. Her constant battle with weight and a slight feeling of inferiority are both handled well by Ms. Christian, who invites the reader to take part in this lovable character's adventures. We never actually feel sorry for Emily, because we realize that since we want to be her friend, she is bound to turn out the winner.
The book is a winner too, and I recommend it for everyone who just wants to laugh his/her way through a fun mystery.
