The Accidental Life of Jessie Jefferson by Paige Toon

Writing.ie | Book Reviews | Young Adult

By Megan Punzet

I was actually really surprised by this book.

Jessie lives with her step dad when her mom dies. Smoking, drinking and going off the rails, she’s getting out of control.

When her step dad tells her that her father is international rockstar Johnny Jefferson, she comes to LA to stay with him with a new family, paparazzi and some hot boy actors. Can Johnny help her move on from her moms death? Can he be the father she needs? All though it sounded very cliche at first, this is a very new teen book with interesting characters with a lot of depth,  really good writing, and all together a great story.

I love how Jessie has all these sides to her, and how Johnny seems like a stereotypical rock star dad, but he has a lot of other sides to him! Can’t wait for the next one, a definite Summer read!
