I wasn't entirely sure what to make of this book when I bought it, and now I've read it, am a bit the same. The story is simple enough - the author is fed up of "traditional" relationships and wants to meet older men who'll spoil her, via a dating website. Fair enough. However, I have to agree with the reviewer who says there's an element of prostitution at play here - about halfway through the book she tires of sugar daddies who take her to nice restaurants and chuck her a bit of Prada here and there, and begins to use a different site where financial arrangements are drawn up in return for "company". I was intrigued by the book, but couldn't really relate to it, particularly the latter parts. I suspect it was supposed to be about female empowerment and the like, but it's actually a really old fashioned concept, and one that I find really unappealing.

Nonetheless, the book was well-written (unlike others in this genre, that terrible Dawn Porter one, for example) and fast paced, and I wanted to keep reading. It was an easy read, and I romped through it on a cold, wet Saturday afternoon. I'll most likely put it straight to the charity shop though - it's unlikely I'd recommend it to a friend.

Well...! 22 April 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Well... Wow. What a stunning, interesting, though prevoking read. It puts a slant on the whole concept of dating and sugar daddies I had never seen before. I came to this book expecting a light hearted piece of chick lit. How wrong was I? Helen's vivid, life like descriptions bring a new perspective to all of this and opens up a whole new world of interesting encounters to me. Well worth it, would reccommend.

Never has the old adage of not judging a book by its cover been more appropriate here. The artwork to the Sugar Daddy Diaries may appear, to the casual observer, to suggest a somewhat standard chick-lit offering, but within it lies Croydon's illuminating insights into the world of rich, powerful but ultimately damaged men.

She lifts the veil on a world that many must think only exists in episodes of Sex and the City. Her quest for excitement and older, more sophisticated men leads her to Prada shops and exotic beaches, horribly-expensive champagne and exclusive hotels with eye-watering bills. But it also brings her into contact with complicated male characters - some of whom are likeable, others detestable.

Croydon herself, as our guide through the land of those who can literally buy anything they want, even a beautiful woman's charms for a while, is always entertaining, but not everyone will like her. Her moral compass perhaps does wobble at times, but she is clearly a confident, independent woman who knows what she wants and was prepared to go out and get it, behaviour which often makes both men and women uncomfortable. Not only that, but she had the balls to write about it afterwards, for which her bravery alone deserves credit.

As a result of her efforts, it is comforting to note that some men who have much material wealth, who drip with the modern-day trappings of success, can be so very fragile and lacking in genuine richness (the very same point that the Dalai Lama, no less, recently made himself). Croydon has shone a harsh light on that unfortunate aspect of the male psyche.

So, I could lie and tell someone I loved her in order for her to spend time with me; but then one day she would find out that was not true. If I have an arrangement with someone, I can ask her to respect my privacy without her becoming offended. &quote;
