Welcome to Season 3 of The Writers' Cafe! Brought to you from the award-winning indie, Sevenoaks Bookshop!
This week's visitor to the cafe is the hilarious and loving Jessica George! We were absolutely overjoyed and excited to have Jess with us for an evening event wherein we discussed her novel: Love by the Book!
Bookseller Review: \"I don’t believe in reserving romance for romantic relationships.” Jessica George’s books always seem to find me when I need them most! An endearing ode to the intimacy of true, female friendship; an ode to growing up, apart, and together again; an ode to all of life’s bumps and curves; to feminism, to women’s rights to stand firm in decisions pertaining to our bodies.
Love by the Book is an endearing, chaotic novel with many twists. It’s as heart-warming as it is heart-breaking, and explores the ways our friends help us discover our own previously unexplored depths.
George delves into the complexities of female friendships — from stumbling on shaky legs when attempting to form friendships in adulthood, to friendship breakups and makeups. I loved everything about this book, I couldn’t put it down once I started! The characters are so real to me, they burst with life, humour and beauty! I was rooting for them every step of the way!\" - Denise.
