Thank You, John

In Thank You, John, Michelle Gurule's debut memoir, she humorously navigates the trials of being a sugarbaby in 2010s Denver while juggling student loans, family chaos, and her aspirations as a writer. With her quirky, sitcom-worthy family and a determination to escape poverty, Michelle enters the world of sugaring, where a lonely older man named John offers her financial relief in exchange for companionship. Through this tragi-comedy, Gurule candidly explores the complexities of intimacy, power dynamics, and the sacrifices made in pursuit of a better life, all while maintaining a witty and engaging narrative.
