Camgirl

By: Isa Mazzei

Narrated by: Isa Mazzei

At 23, 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 50 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.

Thank you, I loved it

I can relate to so many issues and themes in here. I was in tears listening to this book. Narration was great and fit perfectly. I appreciate this book so much.

Even Better Than Expected

The subject matter of the book made it an automatic page turner. Isa is sooo authenticly herself in this book and humanizes topics that are typically awkward or just boorishly comic.

A Fascinating Writer in a Fascinating World

Introspective, mature and honest look at the world of camming and the people who share these interesting communities that seem as individual as the women who host them. Isa is strong and vulnerable and willing to share insights that most would not. Excellent book.

Fascinating, well-told story

Isa's book resonates with me in so many ways. The 9.5 hours of audio flew by and threw me through an enormous spectrum of emotions. She does a great job narrating the book, and I find it especially interesting to hear an author narrate her own story. I highly recommend.

Captivating !!!

I could not pause this audio book for a single second. Every chapter leaves you anxiously awaiting for what's next to happen. It's edgy and filled with adult situations that truly make you feel like you are actually there in the moment. Thumbs up 100%

emotionally raw

reading this book forced me to look at my own life's trauma and face it, and trust me, I was having a great time being repressed.

strap in. this book is a fucking ride.

I loved it

This is one of my fav niche genres. I only wish it were longer. It does have a fair amount of audio glitches though.

Small sound editing issues

This book has inspired me to write a novel.

one of the thing that gets brought out or did you brought up for me. Is that even though you can do camming as an artistic Endeavor in the Foley consenting and I haven't seen your job and have it be straight-up legitimate. culturally any sex work it's so looked down upon but no one would get into it without underlying trauma.

the author made a bold choice to be super unsympathetic. and personally I think her editors did her a disservice. at the end of the book she explained that choice, i think it came from overestimating her readers.

There was a lot of show don't tell, and I was in need of some thoughtful after the fact introspection throughout.

This book was accurate and captured my experience. I am 5 star glad it exists.

Scarily relatable

I really enjoyed it, on some fronts it made me cry with how I related and how deep into my fears and experiences it went into. On the other hand she had her own story that brought me in reacting to everything as if I was in her shoes or next to her. It’s enjoyable to the modern person looking for a story of self discovery with a bit of sexual discovery of desire but also a bit of trauma and accepting it. I’m so glad I picked up this book. It always made me want to read more and it never bored me. I loved it. Being 16 almost 17, I was completely into this book. I wish I picked it up sooner.
