But her normal teenage life is shaken when a series of strange events makes her start to question everything.įor a while, This Is Not the Jess Show seems like just another teenage novel about one girl’s attempt to survive the constant drama of high school: dealing with her controlling mom, some awkwardness with her best friends, and the all-important question of whether to go to the dance with popular but dull Patrick Kramer. At the same time, though, she’s also dealing with the uncertainty and fear of her younger sister’s mysterious illness. Her mom is maddeningly overprotective, and Jess is just trying to figure out what to do about this crush she has on her childhood best friend. The story follows the teenage adventures of Jessica Flynn, who’s struggling to work through the ups and downs of high school life in a small town in 1998.
And that’s certainly the case for the conflicted teen in author Anna Carey’s This Is Not the Jess Show. It sometimes seems like the entire world revolves around the choices you’re struggling to make. When you’re a teenager, every decision, every argument, every challenge seems so important.
