All About the Hype – by Paige Toon

Original Cover

My own copy

The blurb:

The third super hot, super fun Jessie Jefferson novel from internationally bestselling author, Paige Toon.

Is the life of a famous rockstar's daughter all it's cracked up to be? And what about dating your fellow band-member just as you hit the bigtime?

Jessie is still getting used to being a celebrity, and the daughter of one of the world’s biggest rock stars. With her own music career on the rise, a gorgeous love interest and a fun group of friends, it seems Jessie’s glamorous LA life couldn’t get any better . . . but things are about to get really complicated.

My Opinion:

We are back with Jessie, Johnny, Meg and Co.!!! Finally!!!

All About the Hype is book 3 of Paige Toon’s Jessie Jefferson series and also connects her YA books to some of her other books! I think that’s why I’m still so fascinated and excited about it.

Jessie is now living with her father and starts school in LA. It all starts with a birthday party her dad organises, but it doesn’t really turn out great, all it does is make her think of her mum. She spends a lot of time with her new friends, her band mates and even her friends from England and stepdad Stu come over for some visits.

Jessie is such a great addition to the Jefferson family and I loved following her adventures in this book. I absolutely adored the scenes between her and Jack, I think they are great together!!! Paige added some great romantic scenes in this book, her writing fits them in perfectly and adds some vivid sparks to the story.

Johnny and Meg are one of my fave Paige Toon couples, so it’s just awesome to be back with them. It’s so lovely to see Johnny as a dad. He also has some lovely moments with Meg in this book, I just adore them all to bits!

Jessie meets some new people in this book, one of them being Dana, yes THE Dana (if you don’t know her read Paige’s other books about Johnny) and of course that adds a lot of drama to this story! Oh and I quickly want to mention gramps, he is great! Him "babysitting" Jessie is hilarious!!!

Another thing I really liked about this book, is the way singing and music are included. Johnny and Jessie share a wonderful thing in this book and that actually made me cry.

This story is truly magnetic and full of sparks! This story takes you on an exciting roller-coaster ride, full of emotions, excitement and passion. There is a lot going on in this book, but it never got to a point where it was too much. I actually really liked this fact and I think it added even more glimmer to this book. Not only Jessie, but obvisouly also Johnny and Meg and some other characters got part of their story told, this is just fab! Jessie is a bubbly character and it’s so awesome to read her perspective, I felt like being in her head! Is this really the last book?! I want more of Jessie and Johnny!!!
