PositiveHyperallergicThe book is messy and heartfelt, part confession and part cultural essay, as Mazzei dives deep into the contradictions of her work as a camgirl. She is part of a larger tradition of female writers who use the personal as a means of exploring and deconstructing desire.

She makes heavy use of internet speak, even transcribing instant messaging exchanges with viewers. This also sets her apart from her literary fellows, as she relies less on fantasy.
