Upscale Kittens

by Candee

When Angela Law is murdered by a corrupted DC police officer, because she concealed a pregnancy by him, which he didn't want, her three younger sisters witness the entire crime. Each of them internalize the violence in different ways. Years later Jazzy Law finds herself in a tough position as the sole provider for her two sisters, Nandi and Love. This thankless job is difficult for many reasons. First, her younger sister Nandi, suffers from asthma and panic attacks, which causes her to require expensive care. And since Nandi is afraid of the world after witnessing Angela's death, she avoids human contact with everyone outside of her immediate family. The second reason for Jazzy's dismay, is because of her other sister Love. For reasons only Love knows, she holds a grudge against Jazzy that dates back to before Angela was killed. To make matters worse, as the bills mount up, and their apartment is condemned, Jazzy is forced to accept an unconventional offer from her best friend. For $500, her best friend wants Jazzy to collect sperm from an NBA draft pick, so that she can trap him into a pregnancy, thereby ensuring her financial destiny. When Jazzy is successful, a similar request crosses her path. The only problem is, Killion is unlike the meek basketball player she trapped before. He's a murderous drug dealer with a temper and the ability to kill everybody Jazzy holds dearly, including her beloved sisters. What will Jazzy do?

they all got on my nerves!!!!!!!!! so ironic that Love is the definition of hate. she irked my soul and is why I am so proud to say I've never been high a day in my life and never care to experience it. I didn't understand the part about Loop saying that because Love's name is on the lease it meant he could stay and leave whenever he pleases. that didn't make sense. but not everyone knows their rights I guess. i also don’t get why every time someone discovered something gay related they had to barf? I wonder how the characters would react if they saw 2 girls and a cup. I would’ve appreciated some closure on what happened to Cyrus and the best friend. Just seems like it would’ve been necessary to know what became of the person that caused majority of their trauma. I didn't like their shallow come up ending. a lot of those kids are gonna be so unloved in the end because they only came to be for money.

Really liked this book hope it is a full novel at some point. These sisters has seen some trauma but keep going to hold the family together. Dirty cop, filthy old men, dead mom, and sleazy friends. Poor Nandi seems to have all the illnesses of the world, God bless her. Poor Jazzy she needs to open her eyes wide wide and see Cani for what he really is....Love her other sister on the other hand lord she needs help real help. lol Hope to find out what Cani and loops true story in part 2 good job Author Candee.

This book was okay. I liked the story line but it was not what I thought it was going to be. The beginning started off really good then it got very dry to me. It was kinda short for my taste. all in all a good read.
