2022 book 74

 Anna Carey's This is Not the Jess Show

This is a YA novel novel about a teen girl growing up in the 90s, except actually she’s one of the main characters on what is basically the Truman Show, except nostalgia themed. I liked the characters and plot here a lot, a fun read for sure, but I could have done without the cliched teen romance. Like if you are literally on the run, maybe don’t stop to make out. That is my YA pet peeve! There’s a sequel due out in May which I may read depending on how central the romance is (I’m more interested in seeing a teen girl take down a corrupt media empire, personally). B+.
