Seen in Elle's Best Summer 2023 Reads

One of Gal-dem's Unmissable Books of 2023

From the high-rises of Canary Wharf to the turquoise pools of Miami, Sugar, Baby is an intoxicating, darkly funny debut novel about beauty and greed, desire and delusion, from an extraordinary new voice in fiction.

Agnes Green is turning 21 and her life is heading nowhere. Still living at home with her devoutly religious mother in a lifeless suburb, she works as a cleaner by day and spends her nights secretly going to clubs and dating Toby—who loves arthouse film, getting stoned, and ignoring her texts.

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. Emily's lifestyle is the escape Agnes has been longing for: tasting menus, private flights to Paris and Miami, rich older men who shower her with compliments and designer gifts. But it comes at a cost.

Agnes' new life is beyond her wildest dreams, but it comes at a cost. As she begins to stray further from her mother's holy teachings, she must decide how far she is willing to go to be adored...

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Celine Saintclare's Sugar, Baby is praised for its exploration of the complex world of sugar babies and sugar daddies, tackling themes of clout, desirability, and the commodification of the body. It's described as a bold and propulsive read, combining glamour and dark humour with perceptive social commentary. The novel's feminist lens and its refusal to romanticize sex work have been highlighted, alongside the engaging portrayal of its tenderhearted narrator, Agnes.
