About this audiobook
At twenty-three, Isa Mazzei was just like any other college graduate: broke, lacking purpose, and searching for an identity. She was also a compulsive seductress with a reputation as a slut and heartbreaker. One day, while working a low-paying retail job, she had a revelation: why not embrace her salacious image and make some money off of it?
She began stripping, dancing, masturbating, playing games, making art-and broadcasting it all online for money as a camgirl. In her first month, she racked up hundreds of nightly viewers, and within a year she ranked in the top fifty girls on a site featuring tens of thousands of performers. Over the course of her career, Isa built her own business, explored BDSM, attended a porn convention, slept with a fan, and pushed herself further than she thought possible. And yet, despite her success, she struggled to fit into the community she so desperately wanted to belong to.
Camgirl is a relatable look at confronting our past traumas and accepting ourselves for who we are. It masterfully explores the complexities of digital life, sexuality and the tensions between our private and public selves. Mazzei's biting humor and raw vulnerability ensure you'll never think about sex work-or sex-the same way again.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A brutally honest book that has been an honour to read. I wish the author all the best for the future. #metoo
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved the revelations in this, autobiographical and introspective, delving into deep details about motivations and really allowing the outsider to understand the mindset of someone who enters this unique universe of Web camming. From a writer’s perspective, I had never read a book that so seamlessly but credibly blends autobiography with novel, going into intense detail while unabashedly admitting that events are transcribed from memory, despite the option to refer to digitally recorded data. This allows the focus to remain committed to the impact of true events on the protagonist’s psyche, which ultimately is the most important takeaway from our experiences. Strikingly well done.
