Kitty Kitty is a funny, intelligent, and adventurous mystery that readers will love.
Jasmine’s Italian classes and hilarious troubles with the language were the only indication that they were even in Italy! I love great settings, and Venice was a barely-there backdrop only the canals were of any importance, and any body of water would have worked there. My only disappointment in this book was that we did not see more of Venice, but that’s more of a personal taste than anything else.
Put it all together, and you have near-perfection! Jas is a heroine worthy of a Meg Cabot book. It’s as hilarious and insane as Louise Rennison only with a much better, suspenseful, and more recognizable plot. Kitty Kitty is kind of like a mixture between Ally Carter, Meg Cabot, and Louise Rennison, but with Michele Jaffe’s own fabulously unique twist (and in many ways, dare I say it, better than these authors) on it all! It’s a smart, fresh, laugh-out-loud hilarious mystery full of cool gadgets and inventions a Gallagher girl would be proud of (reference to Ally Carter’s books, for those who haven’t read them). Tom, Polly, Roxy, Alyson, and Veronique (excuse me–Sapphyre and Tiger’s*Eye) were as hilarious and quirky as ever. This is a mystery that Jas can’t solve on her own, so I was thrilled to see more of some of the awesome cast of characters from Bad Kitty. In this case, it begins when her only friend in Venice is murdered, and more people may be in danger. Of course, moving to another continent doesn’t mean Jas will stay out of trouble like her father is hoping. After all, what kind of a father would move his daughter half a world away from her friends, her new boyfriend, and her chances at graduating high school and continuing on to an institution of higher education? (Side note: I’d be thrilled to move to Italy today, right now, but I have been told that I am not representative of teenage girls–or people-in general). He is, quite possibly, Jas thinks, insane. The day before the start of her senior year. In this book, Jasmine Callihan’s father has moved himself, Jas, and Jas’s stepmother, Sherri!, to Venice. This sequel to Michele Jaffe‘s fabulous Bad Kitty is pretty fantastic in its own right.
