Some Girls by Jillian Lauren was not a work of literary genius, but it was a pretty good story and quick read. This story spans about 18 months and describes the author's experiences while being a "party guest" for Prince Jefri of Brunei. I liked how Lauren seems to have no regrets about this part of her life, and doesn't necessarily describe her experience has a sex worker as being a "bad" thing. What I was disappointed about was the fact that I didn't feel like the author was in a better place or learned any important lessons at the end. I feel like she just went over to Brunei, got tons of money, and then proceeded to blow it all on fashion and still have no clue about what she wanted to do with her life. I can't blame her for the gobs of money part, but I would have bought my luggage at Target instead of Louis Vuitton and saved the rest.
