A poignant, beautifully written erotic novel from the bestselling author of The Dirty Girls Social Club, PUTA describes the life of one woman, Carmen Noa, through the sexual encounters she had from the age of 16 to 41. By turns sexy, sensual and devastating, this book shows that sex, for modern women, can be much more meaningful, dangerous and, at times, healing than most pop culture portrayals of it, informing every aspect of our lives.

I'll start by saying I am a fan of Ms. Valdes' work. It took me a while to get into this one, but was intrigued with the idea of a veiled memoir, a chance to view a bit further into her world, and I wasn't disappointed - in the story.Let's start with (not really) Spoiler alerts:
1) This is NOT erotica. Ms. Valdes provides great detail in to Carmen's experiences, but if you're looking for a formulaic fantasy story of girl who somehow saves/is saved by hot, complicated guy they and they ride off into the sunset, keep looking.
2) She's a human who's just as messed up as the rest of us. Parent drama - check. Relationship drama - check. Internal struggles - check.
Whew! Now that you know what you're dealing with, if even half of Carmen's story is true (or close to it), I have so much respect for anyone being able to navigate that life and still come out on the high side. Bonus points for representation of a woman who is unapologetic and unashamed of sex!
My only frustration was in the editing choices - cities identified as "BigAssCity" or "City Y", people as "TeacherMan". I understand the concept of obscuring the actual details, but it read as a draft and made the story so much more difficult to follow than having given alternate names. There was one slip in the names when the protagonist is called "Alis-er" which sent me flipping to make sure I hadn't overlooked something in the name choices. I guess it was a slip.
In the closing sequence lies a sentence I was happy to see since it reinforced with my experience reading this piece of work:
"I really hope most of you have read my story with morbid fascination rather than heartfelt identification."
While I had passing thoughts, attempting to place details, they were fleeting. The title provoked me into taking a glimpse into another woman's experience, and having done so, I wish the best for all the Carmen's of the world in the next phase of their stories.

PUTA edition by Alisa Valdes Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I gave this book five stars because I completely enjoyed it. I loved the authors abililty to recall experience going so far back with such detail. I just recently found out this is like a memoir. It helps you see and realize how your experiences jhave deeply affect the actions and decisions you make in your life. I loved the honesty and how the author puts it all out there. I felt like it must have been liberating for her. I just turned 40 and started to think back to how my own past experiences have made me into the person I am today and how it is so much easier when you just accept and love yourself for who you are. I think we are all a work in progress and things just get better and easier with age.
I was very excited to read this book but while I found it interesting and some of the messages very powerful ultimately I was extremely disappointed. I am surprised this book has received such stellar reviews. I found the whole thing to be messy and disjointed. There were many problems with continuity. All in all I felt as if I was reading the first draft or outline for the novel instead of the final version. I even returned to to make sure that was not the case. This book has some great insights and the parts in which she explores Carmen's relationship with her parents were quite poignant but all in all I found it to be neither erotic or well written!
Nice read
I had a hard time getting into this book. I have loved all of her other books, but this book really took a turn for the dark side. As a semi-autobiographical novel, it's even more disturbing. The story of Carmen, and her adventures (and misadventures) is dark and twisted. The story picks up about half way through, but the sadness of the story stays with you long after you finish reading it.
I had a hard time starting this book but once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. I always enjoy this author's work.
It was the most amazing reading...
Very good had me guessing which city and colleges she was talking about
