review 1: Cohen Greene and Garano tell a fascinating story in an accessible way. In some instances, I felt it was needlessly explicit and I am always annoyed by typos. There were at least five in the trade paperback I read. As memoirs go, this one cannot compete with The Liars Club or The Glass Castle – the writing just isn't strong enough – but if you're looking for a fly-on-the-wall introduction to a non-traditional occupation, lifestyle, and marriage, I'm sure you will enjoy An Intimate Life.
review 2: 3.5 stars. I came across this book while I was walking around chapters and it was their featured biography and thought it sounded interesting. I had never heard of a surrogate partner before so I found it quite interesting. The books starts off with "I've had o... morever 900 partners". And I was like whoa! But I found the book to be more of her life with her husband and her open marriage than the surrogate partner. It opened up with some discussion and her history into how she got into this work but then I think that it went into alot about the dynamics of her marriage and the relationship with her husband so it kind of lost a few ratings for me there. It seemed like she really only talked about a few different clients. I would have thought that with over 900 partners that there would have been a few more interesting stories in there. But overall I would still recommend as it was interesting read and a completely different "occupation" then the most of us I would think! less
