Sugar: My Life as a Sugar Babe by Monique X

From Goodreads

A SINGLE MOTHER, A SECRET LIFE…

After her divorce, Monique decides to inject some fun into the drudgery of life as a single mother, by dating a wealthy older gentleman, which is known as ‘sugar daddy’ dating. It all starts quite innocently, but when Monique finds a thousand pounds in her wallet after one night of hot, steamy sex, she realises that sugar dating could be her way to survive as a single mother.

Soon life is a whirlwind of wealthy men, luxury hotels and glamorous experiences. She goes skydiving in Dubai and flies to Paris, Barcelona, Vienna, Milan, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong. Thanks to her sugar daddies Monique can take care of her children, she gets a new sense of independence, discovers her sexual drive, and experiments with a whole new range of sexual fantasies.

But when she loses her job and her ex-husband stops paying alimony, she is prepared to do anything to safeguard her children and keep a roof over their heads. Money becomes her main focus and she starts living on the periphery of the escort world. Now she realises the truth: she needs to find a way out. 

My thoughts

My thanks to the Publishers via NetGalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review. Sadly, I gave this a 2 star or 4/10.

This is classed as a memoir/non fiction/autobiography, but to be honest I'm not sure what it was really trying to be.

Monique X has written a book about her life during the time she was a Sugar Babe, it was a way of her making a decent living in order to look after her children following her losing her job and her husband leaving her.

Despite, the fact that she didn't appear to overly enjoy the role that she found herself in, there was one thing in it's favour, it was a very lucrative way to make money and see the World at the expense of the Sugar Daddies.

At times I found this a bit of a chore to read, I started off quite liking it, but the poor spelling and writing soon became a big turn off. I sincerely hope that it's undergone some serious proof reading prior to publication. I did keep reading it though, as I find it very hard to give up on a book due to the Author having spent the time writing it and that the books can sometimes improve and if I'd given up I would have missed out on a gem. Sadly, this wasn't the case this time.
