Sugar, Baby
by Celine Saintclare - Fiction, Women's Fiction

SUGAR, BABY follows Agnes, a mixed-race 21-year-old whose life seems to be heading nowhere. Still living at home, she works as a cleaner and spends all her money in clubs on the weekends searching for distractions from her mundane life. That is, until she meets Emily, the daughter of one of her cleaning clients, who lives in London and works as a model…and a sugar baby, dating rich older men for money. Emily's life is the escape Agnes has been longing for. But this new lifestyle is the last straw for her religious mother, Constance. Kicked out of her family home, Agnes moves in with Emily and the other sugar babies in their fancy London flat. As she is thrown from one precarious relationship to the next, she finds herself searching for fulfillment just as desperately as she was before.
