# This Is Not the Jess Show - Hardcover

by **Anna Carey** (Author)

**"A fantastically smart, funny, and thoughtful thriller."--Nicola Yoon, #1 _New York Times_ best-selling author of _Everything, Everything_ and _The Sun Is Also a Star_**

The year is 1998: _Titanic_ just won six Oscars, boy bands are dominating MTV's airwaves, and like any other teenager Jess Flynn is just trying to survive high school. Between a crush on her childhood best friend, overprotective parents, and her sister's worsening health, the only constant is her hometown of Swickley, which feels smaller by the day.

Jess is resigned to her small-town life, until the day she discovers a mysterious device with an apple logo, causing her to question everything and everyone she's ever known. As more cracks appear in Jess's world, she faces a choice: can she live the rest of her life knowing it's a lie, or should she risk everything for the truth?

A fast-paced, mind-bending YA thriller packed with '90s pop culture references and perfect for fans of _Riverdale_, _This Is Not the Jess Show_ will keep readers guessing until the very end.

And don't miss the explosive and thrilling conclusion, _This Is Not the Real World!_
