I tell my first graders all the time, “You can do hard things!” You, Jessica, have done an extraordinarily hard thing and we are lucky to be the recipients of that. I have pre-ordered, a hard copy of course, to go next to your other three. I can’t wait to open that book, breathe in that new book smell and read your beautiful words!

Welcome back!! Can't wait for Every Ordinary Thing! Added to Goodreads and pre-ordered! Loved Ex-Vows! Anyway you could put up the link to the bonus chapter of Ex-Vows. Somehow I missed that. Thanks!!

Jessica, I admire you so much!!! I can tell that you have worked so hard to get your mental health to where it is now. Your mindset is so healthy and I imagine that can be a difficult thing to hold onto when you’re in the industry of publishing books. I’m so proud of you for writing again and finding the courage to keep moving forward, despite what your brain was telling you. That is no easy feat. I’ve always admired your vulnerability on here and your emphasis on meeting yourself where you are.

I’m BEYOND excited to read this new story from you and I’m so grateful you’ve decided to share it with us 🥹🤍🤍

Keep being you, friend. 🩵

Joining the many to say that I am proud of you too, and you/your brain are my OTP. I wish you and your brain would have a million book babies, and also happy life moments together.

“In case you want to add it to your Want to Read shelf,” MS JESSICA JOYCE. IMMEDIATELY YES. If there was a Need to Read shelf, this would be on it, girl! I’m so stoked to read more of your beautiful words, and this blurb sounds FANTASTIC (but of course it would be). I can’t wait to pre-order and read this as soon as it hits my Kindle shelf! ♥️🥰 Brb, going to re-read The Ex Vows to hold me over in the meantime!
