Agnes Green in the novel “Sugar, Baby” has been an outsider her whole life, with her strict conservative Christian upbringing directly at odds with her desire for romance, sex and parties. Then, a wealthy model teaches Agnes to use her youth and beauty to get men to give her whatever she wants. Sugaring seems like an ideal ticket out. Donna Edwards of The Associated Press says what starts as a funny, sexy, astute novel becomes a train wreck with no consequences. Debut author Celine Saintclare promises societal commentary but delivers a trivial summer sex romp. “Sugar, Baby” is scheduled for U.S. release on Tuesday from Bloomsbury Publishing.
