Starred Booklist Review

“Brutally funny!”
Entertainment Weekly

“Mazzei leaves no taboo left untouched. A grippingly intimate and self-aware look into some of our darkest compulsions, Camgirl is a nuanced portrait of sex work and self-discovery. If we were all as willing to get down into the trenches with ourselves, the world would likely be a more compassionate place.”
Glamour

“An addictive page-turner that will pull you by the heartstrings.”
Subvrt Magazine

Camgirl is dark, honest, and deeply feminist.”
Woman In Revolt

“Mazzei presents a candid book that reveals a lot about sex workers and the consumers who indulge in these exchanges, exposing the complex emotions experienced on both sides of a scene.”
Booklist (starred review)

“Should be required reading… A refreshing read about taboo topics ensconced within breezy honesty, self-awareness, and whip-smart humor.”
Marie Claire

“A spectacularly gripping memoir about a former cam girl’s journey to regain control over her body, sexuality, life and identity through sex work.”
Shelf Awareness

“A witty and moving portrait of one woman’s journey to empowerment and healing through camming…Camgirl is candid as it gets, and infused with Mazzei’s voice, it’s a hell of a ride.”
Collider
