Everyone at Hundred Oaks High knows that career mentoring day is a joke.
So when Maya Henry said she wanted to be a rock star, she never imagined she’d
get to shadow *the* Jesse Scott, Nashville’s teen idol.
But spending the day with Jesse is far from a dream come true. He’s as
gorgeous as his music, but seeing all that he’s accomplished is just a reminder
of everything Maya’s lost: her trust, her boyfriend, their band, and any chance
to play the music she craves. Not to mention that Jesse’s pushy and
opinionated. He made it on his own, and he thinks Maya’s playing back up to
other people’s dreams. Does she have what it takes to follow her heart—and go
solo?
I really loved Jesse’s Girl. It might even be my favorite of Kenneally's books so
far. I love music based books because they are always full of drama and intense
emotions, and Jesse's Girl is no
different. Right off the bat, I connected with Maya. She shares so many
qualities with me, and it's always fun to be able to connect to the main
character because then you can actually put yourself in their place. I was able
to do that with Maya, and it made the story that much better for me. Her
attitude and her style just mirrored mine. She had a punk rock style, she drove
a motorcycle, she was a kickass guitar player, and she had a charismatic
personality. She was the essence of awesome. Then we have Jesse who was to die
for. Once again, Kenneally managed to create another book boy that I fell head
over heels in love with. He started off being rude and standoff-ish, but soon
he got closer to Maya and realized that he could really open up to someone for
the first time ever. Their chemistry was slow burning and the whole time I was
cheering for them to get together. They just complemented each other so well.
To go along with the great
characters was an awesome story. It was full of inspiration, funny and heartfelt
moments, and adventures that made you feel like you were practically there with
Maya and Jesse. This story was focused on Maya getting out of her shell and
shooting for her dream. I love the fact that Kenneally's books always have a
great story behind them along with an enchanting romance. This book featured
everything I love like music, a kickass girl, a dreamy boy, a motivating story,
and a few hilarious situations to boot. I only wish the book was longer because
I wanted more of Maya and Jesse!
Needless to say, if you are looking
for a fun, motivating, and romantic read then Jesse's Girl (or any book) by Kenneally is the one to pick. Also,
any fan of Sarah Dessen, Kasie West, Paula Stokes, and Stephanie Perkins will
love this book. Jesse’s Girl was the
perfect book to bring me out of my reading slump. I give it 5 out of 5 stars!
