Summer is here, and if you're looking for your next read, Jess has you covered! This is the first edition of the Big Summer Book Club, where Jess shares the books that have shaped her life. In each episode Jess explores a different theme, sharing personal reflections on how these stories have shaped her values and experiences. Her insights are sure to inspire you to rediscover the joy of summer reading—and perhaps uncover your own life-changing books along the way.

Plus, Jess picks the brains of amazing authors about their work, their life, and so much more! Antonia Murphy is one of these authors, whose book 'Madam: A Memoir is about her experiences running an escort agency in a small New Zealand town.
