From the high-rises of Canary Wharf to the turquoise pools of Miami, meet SUGAR, BABY: a story about being young, beautiful and tantalisingly sweet . . . Agnes Green is not having the summer of her life. Trapped in the suburbs with a strict religious mother, her nights are spent secretly dating Toby – who loves arthouse film, getting stoned, and ignoring her texts – and her days listening to sermons about the sins of the flesh. Then she meets Emily. Beautiful, charismatic and oddly controlling, Emily has a suggestion for Agnes. A life-changing way of making cash and having fun. It might even involve love. And it’s easy. All you have to do is put a little black dress on and go to lunch. At first, Agnes’ new job seems like the perfect escape – tasting menus, designer gifts, private planes to Paris and Miami. But as Agnes begins to stray further from her mother’s holy teachings, she must ask herself how far she is willing to go to be adored…
