Jessie Jefferson, daughter of rockstar Johnny Jefferson whom I first got to know in the excellent [[Johnny be Good by Paige Toon|Johnny be Good]] has left the UK behind to move to the City of Angels and be with her long-lost, recently-rediscovered father. As the third book in the ''Jessie'' offshoot, there's a bit of back story to be had but long story short, she grew up not knowing about him, but then her mother died in horrible circumstances and one thing led to another and it all came out in the wash. Now, a year later, Jessie is living with Johnny, her step mum Meg and her two half-brothers.

I enjoyed the story, even with a heroine young enough to be my daughter. It has a great mix of LA life (parties, restaurants, Disney), mundane teenage existence (high school, homework, arguments with parents over boundaries) and a touch of Britishness, either imported or back on home turf. The writing is chatty without being over familiar, and the whole Jefferson clan come out as extremely likeable and as normal as possible given the circumstances. I didn't feel the need to read back through any of the earlier books in this series (because I got up to speed quite quickly) but I'd definitely look out for any future titles. However if you're new to the series, [[The Accidental Life of Jessie Jefferson by Paige Toon|The Accidental Life of Jessie Jefferson]] would be a good place to start.
