More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
A fast-paced, roller-coaster story of a young woman's struggles with herself, her self-image and her addictions
Product Description
In Hooked, 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 pubs and clubs, and snorting cocaine in private members' bars with her rich punters.
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.
Hooked is a graphic tale of how life as a prostitute really is and what can happen when we search for happiness outside of ourselves. It is a poignant reminder that things can always get better, as long as we remember that when it's time to leave the party, it's time.

Format:Paperback
In case anyone is hesitating, it is the most compelling and refreshingly honest account of a personal journey to be published in many years. A gripping and stunning debut, which becomes a social document of our times even whilst focussing on the intensely individual pain of its heroine (no pun intended)..Strongly recommended!

Format:Paperback
Amazing debut book, filled with all the pain and honesty of an addicts personal journey to recovery. A real insight into the darkness and degredation that addition can bring and the strength to tackle those inner deamons. A must buy - it's refreshing to read something so honest.Hooked: Confessions of a London Call Girl

Good story, bad book.
This is such an incredible story, but the plotting could be better. The author is a good writer, but I think she needed more direction, especially on dialogue which was stilted and... Read more

It's strength is its realness
For me the beauty of this book (of pain) is its deft honesty, with the reader and the writer; it's not simple a + b = c, - it's how life is, hard and soft, backwards and forwards,... Read more
