J is a relatable and positive role model that tweens can identify with and grow alongside of through her problems and adventures. This outspoken, full of heart and emotion character, as well as the storyline and element of faith woven through the book, are delightful and heartwarming! Expect to laugh and cry. J inspires readers to open our hearts a little bit bigger, to believe, and to seek the good that resides deep within everyone. We all need a little J. I can't wait to see more of her adventures and from the author, Kirstin Leigh." — Kimber Delgado
"Just J is the kind of middle school heroine we need more of — funny, flawed, and fiercely real. Kirstin captures the chaos of change, moving to a new house and the ache of growing up with heart, humor, and a voice that feels like your new crazy best friend. Move over Amelia Bedelia and SuperFudge! I can't wait for the TV series!"

"My daughter and I were immediately hooked! Just J touches on the full spectrum of emotions that kids experience, offering a relatable and empowering journey through J's story. Kids will learn to navigate their own emotions, develop resilience, and discover the thrill of stepping out of their comfort zones. We fell in love with J's character and can’t wait for more adventures! Are there plans for a television series?" — MN
"Having a B&B for people who want to “change their story” and live up to their full potential is cool. I love how J wants to befriend the guests and invents scenarios where she gets to interact with them. Through her friendship with Ms. Patsy, J gains perspective on reading her sister’s diaries, develops empathy, and a stronger sense of self. I’d like to hang out with J. : )" — Talia Tomms
