SUGAR DADDY’S DIARYThree women. I broke one’s spirit, I broke another’s neck, and I married the third.Those first lines alone are enough of a hook to draw you into this gritty novel of the seamy side of these young women's lives. Although each has her own reason for joining the lifestyle of the Sugar Baby. What is a Sugar Baby you ask? Well for those that do not know, a sugar baby is a young woman who is for all intents and purposes a paid girlfriend. She is paid with jewelry, money and even has her rent paid, usually by a much older man in exchange for being his "girlfriend".I wasn't sure what to make of this book at first. But the more I read, the more I was drawn in to the story and the lives of these young women. With unique and outstanding world building ability, Corrigan takes you on a trip to the lives of sugar babies. Admittedly this is not the sort of story that I would have picked up to read under normal circumstances. However, her writing very realistic and thought provoking. The world as painted by Mickey Corrigan is such that I would gladly read it again.
