Who would have guessed I'd need a thriller about Sugar Daddies and Sugar Babies? I sure had no idea I needed it in my life, but did I ever! If anyone has suggestions of other books like this, please let me know because The Arrangement was phenomenal.
I had no idea where this book was going, and even when I started putting small pieces together, I still couldn't wrap my head around it. This book is SO easy to binge because you simply need to know what's happening next. Might be my favourite book of Robyn Harding's!

A book that kept me interested the whole way through! I’d find myself finishing a chapter and thinking about it all the way up until I could read the next. The ending was better than I imagined! Will definitely be looking into which Harding book to read next.

I'm a big fan of Robyn Harding from her very first book The Party. She is a master at crafting a great plot to the very end. I wish I could give this book 10 stars!!

Nat and Cole are the same people. Not sure why Nat got any sympathy.

This was a book full of drama, twists and turns. It takes you down a path of the seedy and cliche life of a "sugar baby" who falls into the business after her roommates seem to have it out for her and she is struggling to makes ends meet as a 21 year old art student.
The book goes as you would expect, the highs of being able to pay rent, and order food out to then being tossed aside when real life gets in the way. Gabe is a selfish, narcissist who uses women for his pleasure while keeping his wife and daughter on the side for weekend only visits. It was an interesting story, but I had a hard time not rolling my eyes at some of the choices the characters made.

"This lifestyle is addictive."
The Arrangement was such an entertaining read! I'm always on the lookout for thrillers with unique synopses since so many sound the same now, and The Arrangement definitely stands out. I truly appreciate that Robyn Harding cared about the story she was telling and researched the storyline. She joined a sugar baby site, and interviewed sugar babies to make sure that it was accurate. It's such a fascinating story, and she put everything together really well.
My only issue with The Arrangement was all the exposition at the end. I felt like I was being told instead of shown how it wrapped up, and it felt odd after being so invested in the storytelling. I still loved the book, though.
The Arrangement was such an addicting read, and I highly recommend picking it up if you need a new suspense story. This one also has a delightful serving of drama, and I'm glad I read it.

This book was ridiculous and full of delusion but very entertaining. I was just annoyed with everyone and thought everyone needed a reality check. Although simple, kudos for the chapter titles. This book had a lot of big words that I didn’t feel were necessary but I learned some new terms, maybe they were necessary for a big shot like Gabe.

This is a disappointing mix of romance, thriller, and dark comedy that fails to deliver. Natalie, an art student, enters the world of sugar dating, falling for Gabe, a lackluster older man. Her descent into obsessive stalking after he dumps her is implausible and tedious. The plot is predictable, characters are one-dimensional, and the attempted dark humor falls flat. Overall, it’s an underwhelming read that leaves too many loose ends and offers little satisfaction. Skip this one in favor of better-written thrillers and romances.
