6/2/2023 0 Comments Looking for JJ by Anne Cassidy![]() ![]() I was in Alice's head straightaway and felt her pain. If the parts were swapped, I'm not entirely sure we would feel exactly the same way. A way for us not to be blinded by our prejudices. The structure is notable because it helps the reader get into Alice's head before knowing her past. The book starts with Alice Tully in her new life and is followed by a part narrated by Jennifer Jones where we see events that lead up to the tragic death of one of her friends. No matter how far she is from her old life, the past always seems to find her again. But the newspapers keep talking about Jennifer Jones and Alice's guilt is eating away at her. It would sound like Alice's life is set to be a real new start, with a job, a boyfriend and University starting soon. She was released six months earlier so that journalists wouldn't find her easily. She has been given a new identity and is trying to start her life again. It might be a slight spoiler to say that Alice is none other than Jennifer Jones herself. Now the media is in uproar because she is soon to be released. ![]() ![]() The media loved that story and Jennifer has been in and out of the papers for half a decade. Jennifer Jones killed her friend and has been in prison ever since. Alice seems to be obsessed by a crime committed six-years ago by 10-year-old Jennifer Jones. We start the book with 17-year-old Alice Tully who is working as a waitress in a coffee shop. ![]()
