Synopsis
Sick of “hanging out” and hookup culture, college freshman Jasmine Lewis
decides to try out a new kind of dating—sugar dating. After watching a
documentary about sugar daddies, she and her roommate Kita Okoye sign up
for Searching Sweet Sugar, a sugar dating site that promises to change
young girls’ lives for the better. After meeting a few salt daddies,
terrible men who abuse the system, Jasmine and Kita land the sugar
daddies of their dreams, men who shower them with money, Louis Vuitton,
and vacations. Their newfound, glamorous lifestyle attracts the
attention of girls in their residence hall, and soon, Jasmine and Kita
find themselves running a makeshift dating agency from their dorm room.

Jennifer's Review
It’s a good book. I recommend
it for 18 years and up.
It’s a narrative story by a young college girl
named Jasmine Lewis who tells her story of how she became a sugar baby,
and how she and her friend started the
sugar baby club in their college.
I give it 4 stars but a warning to
others: it’s about sex, money, lesbians, and pimping. I'm not really a fan of sex in books, but this one made me curious, so I
wanted to see what it was all about. I did enjoy the money aspect of
it, though.
