Jess (17yo) has just realized that she is in love with her best friend, Tyler, but her other friends are being all weird about it – not to mention it feels like they’re keeping secrets. And why is Jess’s sister also acting weird? Even the dog is suspicious. As the little things pile up, Jess has to fight to see what’s really going on and if there’s anyone left who hasn’t lied to her.
Carey has taken The Truman Show and pulled back even more of the curtain, taking readers with Jess as she flees the set of her life and realizes she doesn’t know what to do without the lies. This reimagining of the classic story had me riveted the whole time – while Jess is on set in the ‘90s and when she leaves to find a future she never could have imagined. Having turned the last page, I am struggling to wait for the sequel to find out what happens next. The mature content rating is for underage drinking, partial nudity, innuendo, and mention of sex.
