Synopsis..
In the world we live in people are divided in to three main social classes. The Upper class is comprised of the immensely wealthy and powerful. The Middle class consists of managers and highly paid professionals, and the Lower class is made up of people who are paid average or low wages, receiving "welfare", unemployed or homeless. In Detroit and other cities like it, a fourth social class has emerged in the minds of those who occupy it that falls somewhere in between the middle and upper classes.
Unlike the other classes, the fourth is more of an active state of being. It is a verb. People in this class act out and represent what it means to be in the upper middle class. The fourth class is called FLOSS.
Friends since childhood, Abel, Solomon, and Jabez strive to climb the social ladder. Cousins, Dionysus and Torah strive to climb that same ladder, but they would much rather travel on the backs of men like Abel, Solomon and Jabez.
Tyse wants to climb that ladder as well in the company of men like Abel, Solomon and Jabez while attracting women like Torah and Dionysus. Will they all be able to get up the ladder with out pulling some down or walking over others?
Will the ladder be able to support all of their weight, or will jealousy, envy, and betrayal cause everything that they have worked for to all come crashing down around them?
This bestselling novel will answer the question that we all struggle with...
"Do good looks and material possessions guarantee happiness?"....

Who I'd like to meet: Reviewers....
Here is what the reviewers have to say so far...
Author Monica Marie Jones delivers greatness once again with her 3rd
book, Floss. But don't let the title fool you, this book is far from
your typical urban fiction novel littered with the plights of a king
pins and his "ride or die chick." Floss is more of a warning of what
happens when you allow the love of money to be your sole focus and
only motivation. Set in Detroit, the city where people are known to
floss, Jones introduces an ensemble of characters of young
professionals from different walks of life with one main thing in
common-the uncontrollable desire to Floss.
When Jones opens the cautionary tale with main characters and
childhood friends Abel(the party animal/closet Christian), Solomon
(the follower), and Jabez (the ultimate ladies man) you have an
instant sense of familiarity. Abel and Jabez are the epitome of the
successful, attractive brothers that every woman wants and every man
secretly wants to be like-including Solomon. Back in the 90's we
would have called him a "Perpetrator" because while he may always
step out of the house looking like a million bucks, he's stepping out
of his mother's house with his room in the basement and name on the
orange juice. Tyse is on the same level as Solomon. Although he
doesn't live with his mother his struggle is the same to acquire the
status, success and acceptance of the likes of Jabez and Abel so he
can get the attention of women like Torah and Dionysus.
Dionysus is the ultimate show stopper with looks that can make a
blind man take notice and a homeless man give her his last penny.
Fully aware of the impact she has on men Dionysus never passes up an
opportunity to use her feminine wilds to get any and everything she
wants. While the paper chase runs in the family her cousin Torah
lacks some of her natural beauty and level of skills which often
results in Dionysus taking advantage of her. Unfortunately her
tendency to underestimate Torah leads to an ill-fated turn of events
that affects the lives of everyone involved and leaves someone
wearing a toe tag.
This page turning thriller is sure to be an instant best-seller with
its tale of how easy it is to get caught up and caught out there when
your desire to Floss gets the best of you. From start to finish it
will have you on the end of your seat and leave you salivating for
more…
