Summary
Growing up in a quiet, middle-class suburb outside of Amsterdam, childhood best friends Anna and Olivia had their whole lives ahead of them. But every parent's worst nightmare came true when the teenagers fell in with the wrong crowd.
Eleven years their senior, Ryan was charming and good-looking - and Anna and Oliva easy prey. Blind to his grooming, the girls were soon trapped in a terrifying cycle of sexual and physical abuse.
But their nightmare was only just beginning.
Trafficked to the neon-lit windows of Amsterdam's Red Light District, Anna and Oliva were forced to work as prostitutes, servicing countless men night after night against their will.
Body for Rent reveals the disturbing truth behind Amsterdam's Red Light District and the shocking ease with which ordinary girls can be exploited. But despite the unimaginable horrors they endured and the damage done to their bodies and their minds, their friendship remained as strong as ever, giving them hope that one day, they would escape....

Wouldn’t recommend
The storyline has no rhythm seemed to have time jumps back and forth. A great highlight into the red light district and the girls story was interesting just not put together well.

Heartbreaking, Beautiful, Moving
The storytelling allows you to feel very close to Anna and Olivia giving the reader a great understanding of their story. It absolutely broke my heart and I am incredibly grateful for the bravery needed to share such a difficult but beautiful book.

Not easy listening by any means but what a great book and well read by the narrators, and how brave the girls were to have shared this terrible experience.

Such a moving account
I haven't read or listened to a book to the end ( started a few) for 40 years but this was so well written I was hooked and had to finish it . I also think anyone that works with teenagers should listen to this book to help them spot anymore victims. It will make me think differently now about problem children

Moving and insightful
It was a hard listen. I think we all need to know more about sex trafficking. The way I see it this living hell is like an underworld and our entire society is propped up by it. It was intense and shocking but I now have more of an idea about what goes on and it really opened my mind to the tragic torture women are going through on a daily basis.

horrifying but we need to know
This book was amazing written and full of all the information you need to know what it's like to live as a trafficked prostitute. I am so saddened by what these girls had to go through and the power of these men. blessings to those ladies
