if jesse writes it, i will read it. bonus points if they’re interconnected stand alones like this one. 
once i started this book, i literally didn’t put it down until the end. it was light-hearted (for the most part), empowering, and a wonderful story to end women’s history month with. 
i get so sick of tropes being copy and paste, so jesse flipping this one around a bit was SO refreshing. jonas not getting a redemption arc meant everything to med because boys like that don’t deserve a redemption arc. i’m so glad kiki realized how powerful confidence can be. i’m glad she had a support system who would do everything and anything for her. and im glad jesse didn’t minimize any of kiki’s feelings throughout this story. very “the man” by taylor swift energy.
