The cursed existence of Jessalyn Bell By Katie Johnson - Review

I received an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review



I really enjoyed this book!  I'm sure it had to do with the fact the main character and I have a very similar life problem....BAD LUCK!  Of course Jessalyn's luck was much worse than mine and I would not be able to handle all the she endured. 

Jessalyn is a hard working college graduate that wants to make a life for herself.  Unfortunately, she experiences set backs in her "career" one after another.  She also struggles with her parents divorce,  her father's new family and her future step sisters who were a lot like Cinderella's evil step sisters! She has even more bad luck when it comes to her living situation and roommates.  Seriously, can she catch a break?


Even through all the hardships and set backs, a true romance develops between Jessalyn and  a dreamy blue eyed police officer named Kyle.  Despite the fact that their first meeting was not exactly ideal; Kyle arrested her because she was mistaken for someone else!  And that Jessalyn and Kyle's first few dates didn't exactly go has planned.  Their first date landed Jessalyn in the hospital! Most couples would have given up but they had a pull towards each other that couldn't be ignored.  I guess it's true love when you stick around when everything else seems to be falling apart to pieces.

I started reading in the early evening, thinking I would start it, read a few chapters and pick it up later the next day. Nope! Around 3 am I read the last page.  It's been awhile since I have read a book in once sitting.  Even if the book is captivating and hard to put down, sleep usually wins out and I stop reading.  Not this one, I couldn't stop!  I had to see how it ended.  Although It didn't end quite how I expected, it did wrapped up nicely and made for a very entertaining story.

The Cursed Existence of Jessalyn Bell (Jessalyn Bell, #1) comes out November 1st.  Wait!!  Did you see the end of the title? Jessalyn Bell #1??  Looks like its a series.  Yay!!  I'm excited to see how her story continues.
