Jenny Angell, a university professor, is a bit screwed when her rat bastard boyfriend takes off leaving her penniless. Though she considers various other ways to supplement her meagre teaching income, the one that she eventually opts for is, as the title would suggest, that of call girl. Assuming the persona of Tia (an abbreviation of her college nickname, Tia Maria), she signs up to an agency who quickly have her working every night.
''When I was researching this author after finishing the book I came across various sites which made reference to some kind of Oprah/James Frey-style scandal when this book was released in the States. I didn't want to ruin the story I had just enjoyed reading so I skipped over these, but if you like your true stories to be properly true, you might like to do your own research before or after reading''
Thank you to the publishers for supplying this book. For further reading, Chelsea Handler would also like to tell you about her [[Horizontal Life]] or you might like to explore some of the gorier tales of this nature out there, my favourites of which are [[''Going Down]] '' and [[''Confessions of a Working Girl]]''.
