Sugarbabe
by
Holly Hill
"Attractive, professional, well-spoken, well-dressed 35-year-old woman seeks sugar daddy. I live in Darlinghurst on a 17th floor unit with fantastic skyline views to the harbor. The unit also features very discreet and secure undercover guest parking. I am looking for exclusivity so will (theoretically) be available to you 24 x 7. I am single and don't have any children. I...more

I don't know. This was my "blind date" from the library, meaning I checked it out without knowing what it was. I might've picked it up on my own, but I'm not sure. I knew early on that it was going to take me out of my comfort zone (it's about a woman who looks for a "sugar daddy," men who will pay her in exchange for sex and other services), but, hey, the narrator talks about open mindedness early on, so I figured I'd read it through. And it's very readable, so that helped.

I think that, despite her incessant references to her own startling beauty and impeccable fashion sense (none of which can be corroborated by third parties), she actually may suffer from low self esteem. To think that the key to her happiness is: 1) betwixt her legs and 2)found in a designer boutique, she literally sells herself to whoever comes along with a stuffed envelope. What else can she be other than maybe a little self-loathing? But who knows? In any case, it's her life, her body, and as...more
This book was just awful! The author claims to be a psychologist but she seems to have way too many issues and not much insight into the arrangement which she is endeavouring to enter. Now I am no expert on the art of arranging a sugar daddy but I suspect that one needs to be reliable and all this woman does is mess potential "clients" about. She has an over inflated ego and is constantly telling the reader that she is irresistible to all men then she gets on her high horse about how men are not...more
Didn't like this. Found it to be a continuous justification by the author of what they were doing (looking for a sugardaddy). I don't need to know you're filling a hole in today's society and curing relationship ills. Look in a mirror and tell yourself.

This book is horrible. "Holly Hill" is just a tramp who thinks too highly of herslef. She actualy cries for women who expect monogamy in marrige. I undersatnd she is from the land down under where most people are christian. In the book, instead of saying "Thank God" she says "thanks goddess"? I guess since she is obviously not a christian, she doesn't know that in the bible it cleary states you should ONLY HAVE SEX WITH YOUR SPOUSE! She thinks women who believe in monogamy are dumb and close-min...more
Very interesting story. Holly Hill is too old to be a sugarbaby (she's actually 39, not 35, like it says on the back cover) and she wasn't very successful. Her ego is ridiculously huge. (Have you seen pictures of Holly Hill? Look her up on Amazon. She compares herself to Angelina Jolie, but I'm not convinced.)
Here's Holly's philosophy: monogamy is ridiculous. All men cheat. We should just be OK with all the cheating. Let's embrace it. Feel sorry for women who believe in fidelity.
Ugh. This book...more

Holly Hill completely changed my outlook on the idea of being a sugar babe/escort. I've always looked at it as making someone into a sleezy, high class prostitute...until now. I think that the world is filled with people who are unhappy in their relationships, and Holly was merely providing a way to help men find their way back into happiness. I do not think it is right to cheat on your partner, but I also think it is unfair to be stuck in a loveless, unhappy marriage just for the sake of stayin...more
Love, love, love this book. I picked it up a few years ago at the Sydney airport bookstore after the amazing cover art jumped out at me. They say 'you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover', well i did, and i am glad i did as the story was as amazing as the cover. Well written and captivating, Hill shows that you can write about sex without being smutty. Everyone seems to be raving about Fifty Shades of Grey but this book is 'Fifty' times more interesting and 'Fifty' times better written than Fif...more
Holly Hill (not her real name) decides to run an ad on the Internet for a sugar daddy. According to her highly inflated ego, she has a lot to offer. She goes to great lengths to convince her reader that she’s attractive to every man who gets a glimpse at her. She’s educated, a gourmet cook--although I don’t remember her actually ever cooking anything--with an overactive libido. She also happens to be a psychologist. What a catch for all of those married men out there! And all for the bargain pri...more

A difficult book to get through the beginning as the letter "I" is kinda overused a bit. Not as interesting as I hoped it to be. Pretty dull. Can't understand how she felt empowered when In the end most of the sugardaddys didn't show much respect to her or her arrangements. The author is quite an egotist also, couldn't see what all the fuss was about as she looks a little like a plain Jane more then the Angelina Jolie she compares herself to. Wouldn't recommend it.
I really loved this book. Lots of familiar locations, topics and characters. I loved the frank honesty and her style of self- and others- analysis. A great exploration of one of taboo topics and societal assumptions. I have to admit I have arrived at many of the same conclusions myself over the years so that is why perhaps the book really appealed to me as a validation of my own controversial ideas.
I thought this was an entertaining book because I've never read about someone being a sugarbabe before! I can't say that I agree with her in alot of her opinions and assumptions but to each their own. It was amazing how many men were willing to pay her $1000 a week to be her sugar daddy, I was shocked! I liked reading about all of the different men who applied for the 'job' as well!
Thiny veiled soft porn basically. And what was with all the references to delectable food? I suspect Holly is an overweight middle-aged suburban housewife living out her fantasies through the drafting of her words and polishing them up for sale with a supposed message about monogamy. I'm not buying it. Nor the proposition that her version of sex for cash is not prostitution.......
Light, fluffy read. A bit graphic at times, but nothing too raunchy. If you are looking for a distraction...good pick. I does make you think about monogamy and the age old question about whether people were meant to stay with the same person their entire life. Again, don't take this book too seriously...enjoy it for what it is.
I thought this book was interesting and how we portray different relationships and what we think is the right and wrong way. It made me rethink relationships and what coudl be the cause of divorce and how it could be stopped although i didnt agree with her theory it was still a very entertaining read.
I really liked this book... I am not sure I would have made the same choices, but it was realistic, honest, entertaining, and well written. The author is proud of who she is, which is great. I do question her compulsion to buy everyone food?! In any case, I say that the author should live it up. I wish I was a gay man so I could hang out with her for a weekend, she seems like would be a blast.
don't need to read this trash to provide the rating. she generalizes men based on her own personal experience. gee thanks for the insight.

The book was interesting. Fun read that gave us a bird's eye view into the life of someone seeking to be kept. Fair amount of sensual scenes - not for the faint of heart. Would be open to reading another from this author.
At first I thought this book would be more along the lines of a golddigger, but basically she turns into an escort. So you can understand why it gets to be a bit...raunchy. Needless to say I loved it!
While I don't disagree with the other reviewers' negative opinions about this book and the author, something about it made me keep reading and find it just a little bit fascinating.
I loved it. She takes a twist on finding her Sugar Daddy. She is in control. Ends up in a better place and doesn't realize she helps people out on the way.
An interesting account of a girl in Sydney seeking a SugarDaddy.
Not sure I'd recommend this to anyone - I just picked it up in the library as the cover caught my eye.

Crazy, yet interesting book. Back in the day, I perhaps might have thought she was cool and hip..now, yea..not so much. But hey, to each their own!
Good not great read but thoroughly enjoyed it as an insight into a lifestyle no one would willingly pick except holly hill
This is an easy read, her stories / experiences can make your blah day a bit more interesting, but the ending was a let-down...
I promise I have an excuse for buying this....it was in the bargain bin at Barnes & Noble. $2.99. And morbid curiosity.
Immature writing, immature thinking. Honestly, I was more introspective at 12 then this woman is at 39. She has this obsession with making herself appear extremely sexy and desirable to one and all. True or not, it's just reads as really dumb.
This had a lot of potential -- I wanted to see a glimpse of the sex-for-money standpoint -- but I was sorely let down by this author's loose grasp of authenticity.
I made it through just one of her (extremely glorified and vulgar) sexual encounters. (I'm not...more

Loved this book so much, when I heard there was a sequal called "toyboy" I couldn't wait for the release date! Fantastic!
From a quick scan of this book, it really is pure drivel. Maybe I could have a new category called 'too-stupid-to-finish'.
