A review by mehsi
This Is Not the Jess Show by Anna Carey

5.0

The plan was to write a long review, but I am just not getting the words out for this amazing and fun book! Meet Jess, a girl who thinks she is living a pretty good life in the 90s... but then things start to fall apart and she notices that her world may not be what it looks like. It was really well written and reminded me of Truman Show which I absolutely loved. My heart broke for Jess and that her parents would do something like this. Poor girl, I can only imagine how hard it is going to be for her to adapt to
Spoiler the year 2037.... and adapting to the fact her parents never told her, always kept her in the dark and even went so far to make a plotline of sick/dying sister. Plus, I was definitely shocked when she saw the polls (when outside) and what those meant.
There is plenty of action, some romance, and tons of twists and turns. While I do think the book ends perfectly as it is, I am kind of tempted to see what the next book will bring.
SpoilerEspecially with Mims now taking the role as Jess in the show, how will that go and I was pretty much heartbroken for Jess, not only do her parents lie and deceive they apparently don't care that the girl in their arms is not their daughter.
