Items related to Hooked: Confessions of a London Call Girl
A fast-paced, rollercoaster story of what a life of prostitution is really like and a young woman's struggles with herself, her self-image, and her addictions Reformed addict Clare Gee draws on her own experiences of cocaine addiction, alcoholism, and prostitution in telling the sensational story of a woman living on the edge. Emotionally scarred by having never known her mother, Katie escapes to London and immerses herself in a seedy world of drugs, drink, and sex, chasing happiness in the bars and clubs, and snorting cocaine in private members' bars with her rich clients. Finding herself in a cycle of prostitution and unable to break free, she turns to drug smuggling and becomes embroiled in a bigamous marriage in an attempt to secure some emotional stability. From this dark emotional pit, Katie starts her painful journey back to "wellness" and attempts to rid herself of her addictions for good. This is a graphic tale of what life as a prostitute is really like and what can happen when people search for happiness outside of themselves.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. I love drugs. I love getting drunk. Better still, both at the same time. It helps me to forget, faster. I am an addict and I always will be. But when I drink, I sniff cocaine, and when I do that, well, I swap my snatch for cash. In this frank and forthright memoir, reformed addict Clare Gee documents her struggle with cocaine addiction, alcoholism and prostitution.
