“Before Diablo Cody was super-famous for writing the movie Juno she was just like the rest of us post-college twenty-somethings . . . approaching our looming corporate futures feeling uncertain, slightly terrified and very bored. Her solution, however, is what makes Candy Girl unique: Cody tackles her ennui by becoming a stripper. Candy Girl is well-written, witty, and surprisingly poignant. This is more than just a memoir; it’s a thoughtful (and not judgmental) look at the complexities of sex work.”—Kaitlyn, The University of Oregon Duck Store, Eugene.
