In Short
- This is an addictive and well paced book.
- Paige Toon really went above my exceptions with her writing charm.
- I really didn't want to have to leave Jessie's world when I finished reading.

In Long
I have heard many great things about Paige Toon and have since wanted to read a book by her. After finishing and adoring The Accidental Life of Jessie Jefferson I couldn't believe I had left it so long to read a book by her.

Paige's style of writing is one which makes you relax into the book really easily and quickly. It's one which makes you, as the reader, really feel like your there with the characters. So many times I found myself completely lost in Jessie's world, I never wanted to put the book down. I once even woke up to find I had fallen asleep reading because, despite having been so tired, I didn't want to put it down.

There is a sort of charm about Toon's writing and characters which drew me in right from the beginning. Jessie is really likeable despite her attitude; I mean what teenage isn't like her at some point? I actually admired how she handled the situation and different things she had to overcome.

I can't compare Paige's chick lit books to this YA book as I haven't read any of her other books. However I can tell you,without a doubt, that Paige has written an addictive YA book which is well paced and addictive not just at the end but throughout the book.

Final Thoughts
I finished The Accidental Life of Jessie Jefferson with mixed emotions. The lovely satisfied feeling after finishing an amazing book but also closed the book with a feeling of disappointment that I had finished and had to leave Jessie's world. FOR NOW! ( )
