Just One Egg

This is my husband's account, (we share), but I had to leave a review for this!The book holds a lot of emotion and really touches on things like depression, anxiety, and heartbreak but also healing and working to better yourself. It very much felt like I was reading my own thoughts through some of it. There is even mention of PTSD and with someone who has it, I can't express how much the mention of it made me feel like less of a freak.It's a quick read but I suggest you take your time and really let the words sink in.Also the little illustrations are both fitting for the book and well done, and also well placed.I think you will really enjoy this book, if you've experienced any of the topics in this book or not.It's worth a read!

I had started reading this book earlier this morning, planning to read one of the four sections per day. However, once I had gotten to page 70, I realized that I could not put it down. There is something so surreal about reading someone else's raw emotions. It's like having a front-row seat inside of Jess's mind, watching her pain with your whole heart, and being helpless to do anything about it. And yet, as sad as these poems are, there is so much hope as well. Slowly but surely Jess is learning to heal, and although her journey is not over, it warms my heart knowing that she can and WILL go farther. It was an honor to witness part of her journey. 10/10

It fees a bit strange to say I enjoyed myself while reading this. I felt the heartache and pain that was expressed in many of the pieces, but I also felt the hope for better. The hope to heal and love yourself the way one deserves to. I felt so connected to many of the poems, which gave me the sense of being seen and understood that I've only found in a few other works. I plan on reading this again sometime in the future, especially on the days where I need one specific chapter or another. Highly recommend!!!

This book is like reading a diary of how Jess feels, whether good or bad, and it definitely resonated with me and how I felt, especially during heartbreak! The way she expresses her feelings towards the smallest things reminded me of myself and I think this can be very relatable for anyone who wants to heal from having their heart and soul hurt at some point in their lives. This book is so great, I think it can help people get in tune with their feelings and figure out how to take a step toward self healing :)

I LOVED this book. It’s honest and raw. You relate to Jess because a lot of us have been there. You cry with her and smile at her small victories. You feel like you’re talking to a friend. I forgot I was reading honestly. And when you’re done, there’s a warm happy feeling inside of you. At least for me anyways! Great, great read! 💛✨(P.S. If you like books from Rupi Kaur and her style of writing then you’ll enjoy Just One Egg. Jess has a similar writing style and I love it!)

I've been watching Jess for years on YouTube her content is amazing she is a beautiful soul she is a photographer gamer lover of music and beautiful things and when I found out that she had written a book I jumped right on that I'm not very far in it since I just got it today but what I have read is amazing it's a privilege to be able to have this kind of view into private spaces in her life so I would definitely recommend this book

This book is absolutely amazing. It’s raw, unfiltered, emotional, and relatable. I learned so much about Jess and I felt like I got to know her heart. I unintentionally read it in one sitting, because I kept coming across things I could relate to that I myself haven’t been able to put into words. No matter where you’re from, what you’ve been through, or who you are, you’ll find something in this book that resonates with you❤️

Of course, I like my own book so this is a biased review 😂 but I know you'll like it too. I was afraid to put myself out there but I'm glad I did. This has been a healing experience for me and I never thought I would be calling myself an author but here I am! I hope this book will inspire other writers to finally finish that novel or that poetry book or that children's book and put their work out there as well!
