I think this is a good book to read, if you want to read how society is still prejudiced to people who sell their bodies for money. The stigma that follows. The damnation. Yet some of these people that stigmatize or damn a person for whoring themselves out, have no problem propositioning the object of their "high-brow views" and being "hypocritical in private." The whole world is just so...predatory. 
 Here, it was actually the guy being treated like a piece of meat, which is a refreshing change, because it's usually the girl. All the women in this book, including college professors, doctors, and even his freaking landlady turned pimp, are hankering after his services. I actually really liked Mason. Despite being a prostitute, he was the nicest character in the book. 
 For me, the female lead Reese was super shallow, ogling Mason and thinking sinful thoughts from the get go, but at least she didn't disguise who she was, and later on, I knew she saw the error of her ways, of being just like the other women, and seeing him as a piece of meat. At least she learnt. At least she grew. All the other chickadees in this book, alongside her questionable cousin Eva, that horrible landlady Mrs Garrison and that college professor that didn't thankfully fail her...they were just repugnant. 
 Besides Reese, the only good female character portrayal was Mason's sister, Sarah and maybe that classmate of hers, Sorsha. I kid you not. Everyone was just so...judgey. Honestly, are you a better person, just because no-one pays you for sex? Really? You're going to pull that on me? 
 So I liked this book for the role reversal (like I said, it's normally the girl getting objectified, with dirty men leering at her), but at the same time I couldn't stand reading about some of the characters, including Reese, especially at the beginning, but I stuck with it and I saw some character growth and Mason finally finding a happier life for himself, which was SO worth it.
