Honestly, I read the first chapter of this book and thought, I am never going to read this. I was very wrong about that.
It’s about a girl named Alice Tully in Part 1. She is in college, lodging with a woman, Rosie, and working in a coffee shop. Completely normal, you say, and shut the book. Well, that’s where you’re wrong, my friend! Later on, in Part 2, we get more than just snippets of her past, and are told her tale in full colour.
The fact is – spoiler alert! – Alice Tully is not Alice Tully: she is Jennifer Jones, the murderer who killed her friend at the age of 10! I won’t tell you what happens at the end…
I, myself, found that Looking for JJ is a book of mystery and secrets. I like that in a book! Unfortunately, there is nothing left to say that wouldn’t ruin the story entirely.
