Lilly and Alison are identical twins, yet couldn’t be more different in personality. Losing their mother at the age of five left their father bitter, unforgiving and aloof towards his daughters. To overcome this coldness, Alison took on the role of leader, making a solemn promise that she would always protect her sister - no matter what.
By a cruel twist of fate, however, Alison loses her life to the sea leaving Lilly bereft and sole custodian to her sister’s three-year-old son, Charlie. As she copes with the loss of her sister and the responsibility of becoming a parent overnight, Lilly slowly begins to uncover the secret life her sister had been involved in – high class prostitution.
To try and piece this shocking revelation together, Ali seeks out the four men her sister was involved with and tries to get to know them, partly out of curiosity but mainly with the intent of destroying their so-called normal lives.
Take A Look At Me Now is women’s fiction with a difference. Anita Notaro has tackled a very delicate and taboo subject, turning it on its head as she lets her readers look at things from the male perspective. By no means is this author condoning prostitution but she is showing both sides. Why exactly do men pay for sex? Or is it something else they’re looking for? Pick up a copy and find out!
