Wow! I’m shocked. I was not expecting this to be good but it most definitely was. It’s a plot that is fairly uncommon in YA so that added a new level of interest for me. The ending was so open (I was like, “really, it ended?”) but also satisfying if that makes sense.

4.25 Stars

Clean with the exception of minimal swearing.
FYI, the second book isn’t clean. (

4.5 rounded up.
The blurb's comparison to Black Mirror doesn't lie: "This Is Not the Jess Show" is a really punchy little novel reminiscent of Black Mirror's "White Bear" episode and packed with delightful twists, 90s nostalgia, and a solid running commentary on the manipulation of relationships and fame. Even readers who are familiar with some of the tropes of this genre will have fun reading this one; the pacing keeps you wanting to turn the pages, and the entire world feels well-realized and complete. I lowkey got Grady Hendrix vibes from the writing, too, which, in my opinion, is a excellent sign. Honestly it's been a hot second since a YA thriller really did it for me, but I read this in two sittings and had a delight seeing it all unfold! (

The 90’s meets one of my favorite movies (I can’t tell you what movie it is as that will give so much away). This is one of those books I wish I wrote because it feels like me in so many ways. Definitely one of the coolest books I’ve read this year.

I can’t wait to read another book (because this is a series, right?). (

A fun premise (if copied directly from a certain movie) but there were just soooo many plot holes and points that felt like the author thought maybe us readers weren't the smartest. Maybe even one star. (

Well I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this short YA novel!

I had been on the brink of giving up as there was no discernible plot. Then an oddly intriguing vibe developed followed by a corker plot twist. I have read a few reviews since finishing this and I would suggest going in with as little information as possible. It is by no means a new concept but it is fun to see it play out in a YA book. I honestly can't say more than that without it being a spoiler. For those who won't read it here are the big spoilers . This is just like the Truman Show starring Jim Carrey. 17 year old Jess has grown up the centre attraction of a TV show set in the 1990s. She is totally unaware that her real parents have allowed their lives to be observed by millions of people around the world and that there are cameras everywhere. Every single person in her life is an actor playing their role and scenarios are created to challenge Jess and create a more interesting viewing experience. The whole town is an elaborate set and they have concocted reasons to give Jess as to why they never leave. However, the minor actors are lobbying for more pay so the producers are struggling to keep everything 'normal' for Jess, as actors refuse to turn up to work. She discovers the truth and tries to flee but is hunted at every turn. Once you get past the very dull first quarter it becomes quite the roller-coaster ride. Definitely ordering for the library! (
