'I have seen and done everything … There is no fantasy left that scares me.'Known to her clients as 'the Surfer Girl', Bruna Surfistinha ran away from home at the age of seventeen to become a high-class call girl. She wrote a candid and explicit web diary about her three years turning tricks in the swanky suburbs of São Paulo. Now she draws back the sheets to reveal the whole story. Insouciant and funny, Bruna portrays her estranged middle-class family, her out-of-control drug use and her unbridled sexuality.
