    Stunning beauty. Comes across like a real person, NOT a front.

    She is just the right blend of beauty and quirkiness, "The New Girl" : Jess, indeed.

    I'm not a coffee drinker at all, but I would drink coffee for her and with her. She is the embodiment of beauty and class.

    Cloying. Again, she excels herself: humble brag, cutesy dag.

    pastoralia is a collection of short stories and a novella, not a novel (but maybe they misquoted her?)
