Millionaires, surgeons, serial killers, CEOs: I light their cigarettes, mix their drinks. We engage in conversation. I am the facilitator of good times. I am a hostess.

Step into the surreal world of a Tokyo hostess club and gain an exclusive underground pass through the eyes of author Chelsea Haywood as she explores a way of life unique to the Japanese, experiencing $600 dinners, kabuki theatre, Harajuku shopping sprees and first-class trips to 'anywhere you want to go'.

This is the true story of one girl's immersion in the world of hostessing, a late-night entertainment for wealthy Japanese men drawn from the traditional institution of the geisha. While the foreign slowly becomes familiar, Chelsea's initial enthusiasm turns into turmoil as she struggles to maintain both her sanity and her marriage in the face of material excess and relentless temptation.

I don’t think I can finish this, as I cannot stand the narrator’s performance. She reads as if she’s giving a performance in middle school, and her accent work is equal parts dreadful and offensive.

Story is interesting, narration is terrible.

Enjoyed the story and learning about other cultures and the hostes world. Great audio narration and wonderful job on the various voices, male and female!

Great story!

Plot: I have read memoirs before. I listened to two hours of this book waiting for some kind of narrative structure or recurring 'characters' to come out, and it didn't happen. It's just summaries of conversations that circle around each other and go nowhere.

Performance: The reader's attempt at mimicking accents was so racist that I couldn't listen to this book out loud.

Boring and embarassing to listen to
