Some girls: My life in a harem

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jillian Lauren, although she's not very likable, has a fascinating story about being a girlfriend in the harem of Prince Jefri in Brunei, on the Malaysian island of Borneo.

She was one of the first Westerners invited to the harem, back in the 1990s and before most of the world was aware that there was a harem in the tiny south Asian country, and she rose to the status of No. 2 girlfriend, which came with privileges as well as pressures.

The reason why I gave it five stars is because I read the entire book during a rainy afternoon in the summer of 2010. I lent it to my sister, who I think did the same. She lent it to a friend, who I hope enjoyed it.
