Type of read: Commuter Read

What made me pick it up: I think the title and the cover caught my attention, along with one of my friends talking about Celine Saintclare's books.

Overall rating: I really liked the concept of 'Sugar, Baby.' I also liked that it wasn't focused primarily on the sexual part of sugaring (don't get me wrong, there's sex, but it's not the main thread of the book) but on the actual relationship-building and self-exploration of Agnes's journey into finding herself, her joy, and how she processed her experience in the sugaring world. This was another quick weekend read that caught my attention with the author's name recognition and the cover. I'm not mad at it, but honestly, it seems forgettable, and I don't think I'd recommend it. It didn't feel like there was a punch factor, and at the end of the book, it almost seemed like Saintclare was working too hard for a powerful, positive, woman-focused happy ending.
