Praise

Another beautiful book Jessica! I think it will open people’s minds and let them realize they too need to start saying no and living for their own happiness. I’ve been on that journey myself for the last year and it has been a breath of fresh air and an emotional release.

– Brandi, Making Waves

I laughed, I cried, and I felt very nostalgic throughout. Jessica has given us a piece of her soul in this memoir. I don't think there is any higher praise for a book than that. She opened her heart and told us all the good, the bad, and the ugly bits of life. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us in the future.

– Rachel, In Case I Die

I bought this book for a student/friend that was graduating. But once I got it, I read it! This book is filled with many practical and pro tips for a new young adult, or maybe a newly divorced person as well. The author covers everything from finding a job, to managing money with sub topics like making a budget, opening a bank account, smart usage of credit cards, etc.

She also covers important topics like cooking and cleaning tips, self-care, how to be a good roommate, etc.

I did finally give this book to the person I bought it for, and it was a hit!
