Unsticky (Sarra Manning) Review


High fashion, high art, high expectations – this is Pretty Woman for the twenty-first century Money makes the world go round – that’s what twenty-something Grace Reeves is learning. Stuck in a grind where everyone’s ahead apart from her, she’s partied out, disillusioned, and massively in debt. If she’s dumped by another rock-band wannabe, squashed by anyone else at her cut-throat fashion job, or chased by any more bailiffs, Grace suspects she’ll fall apart…

So when older, sexy and above all, wealthy art-dealer Vaughn appears, she’s intrigued against her will. Could she handle being a sugar daddy’s arm candy?
Soon Grace is thrown into a world of money and privilege, at Vaughn’s beck and call in return for thousands of pounds in luxurious gifts, priceless clothes – and cash. Where’s the line between acting the trophy girlfriend, and selling yourself for money?

And, more importantly: whatever happened to love?

I loved this book and I loved watching the relationship between Vaughn and Grace progress. Sometimes I found Vaughn to be pig headed and annoying though and it was frustrating to me that Grace never really addressed this she always seemed to just nod and go along with whatever he wanted. However, there are a lot more positives to be said for this book than negatives and I have read it many times, I don't doubt I will go on to read it a great many more times too :)
