essjay 's review for:
This Is Not the Jess Show
by Anna Carey
Me: How do you want to rate this one?
14y/o: How do YOU want to rate it?
Me: 3½ or 3¾?
Them: I swear I'm not trying to copy you, but I was also thinking 3¾.
It took a while for this one to get going. We both kind of groaned at the beginning bc neither of us are super into reading teen romances and that's how this seemed like it was starting out (the kid asked me to skip the kissing scenes when I was reading aloud and I gladly complied). But then it got GOOD. And we both really enjoyed it from there. Like, multiple times they shouted "OHMIGAWD, THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD!" while I was reading. They even GASPED a few times, which was delightful to hear. Will be starting the sequel tomorrow.
