Meeting Author Jess Riley


Driving Sideways by Jess Riley was a fun read. I loved the one-liners and the way the story took the reader across the country on a journey. This was a quick, fun, summer read -- I highly recommend this one to female staff, teachers, and even junior and senior girls who like realistic fiction.


Better yet was meeting the author, Jess Riley. She agreed to meet with our book club on Wednesday evening. Like her main character, Leigh, I felt like Jess would fit in perfectly with my friends -- quick-witted, fun, and intelligent. It truly was a great experience to meet her.


Thank you, Jess, for being a part of the Jemima J's for the evening! I am looking forward to your next book!
