I loved this book and this trilogy so much. The books around Johnny Jefferson are my favourites by Paige Toon. I absolutely love being in this world and I'm so happy that there are 5 full-length novels and a short story surrounding Johnny and his family.
I loved each character in these books (even the "evil" ones) and I loved that a bunch of them appeared in this last book. I feel like we got closure for each character and I'm so happy with the ending.
I absolutely adore Jessie and I loved watching her grow as a character and finding her own place in that crazy world. I really enjoyed that in this story she is more than just Johnny's daughter and that she tries to find her own way despite his fame.
The story itself in this book was super fun to follow and even though I understand Johnny's worries about her safety, I do have to say that he could've given her a bit more credit.
Overall, I loved this trilogy a lot and will definitely read these books over and over again in the future.

I really enjoyed All About the Hype. At this point I’ve read I’ve five full-length novels about Johnny and Meg and three about Jessie and all the other characters that were introduced in this series and I love them and have definitely grown very fond of them. I actually already kind of miss them and wish there was a fourth book in this series! This novel was a fun and very quick read just like the first two parts. However, even in this book, Jessie was still torn between Tom and Jack. That had been going on for so long that it just began to really annoy me at some point in All About the Hype which is why I’m deducting a star.

I've been wating for this book to come for a while now and finally that I have it in my hands I can say that I got into the swing of it. I felt that I connected to the characters quickly, and stated to fall in love them and there crazy lives again and that's why I gave this book 5 Stars.

All about the hype is the third and possibly final book in the Jessie Jefferson novel by Paige Toon. (hopefully not)

The book is about a girl called Jessie who has just recently found out that her dad is a global Superstar (In th previous first book) and is now become the lead singer in a new band called 'all hype'.Will she be able to cope with her new Rockstar life whilst trying to keep her relationship jack; one of her bandmate secret from the rest of the band? you will have to read it to find out!

I do hope that Paige Toon will continue with the series because I don't think that I will be able to part for the characters who have captured my heart just yet.

All About the Hype is the final book in the Jessie Jefferson series, and this has to be my favourite of the series so far. The previous two books in the series give us a look at Jessie's life before and after her rise to fame, and All About the Hype lets us really get into the action as she adjusts to her new life, where she has security wherever she goes, paparazzi wanting to get photos, and magazines wanting to interview her. Jessie is becoming a house hold name and I really enjoyed seeing this all through her eyes.

Jessie definitely hasn't had it easy, along with losing her Mum, and finding out who her real Dad is, Jessie now has to deal with the fame that comes with it, and she handles is surprisingly well. She takes everything in her stride, even attending a new school and having her fellow classmates recognise her, but also leaving her star struck too. Although Jessie has grown throughout the series, I think we see the most in All About the Hype, especially when Jessie has to take a step back and really see what is going on.

The relationship between Jessie and Jack is one that isn't perfect, with Jack wanting to keep it secret from the band, not many people know about them, and with words of friends Jessie is beginning to doubt Jack, especially with his track record. This led to a lot of crossed wires, hurt feelings, and a lot of doubt. Happily this situation is resolved and I really liked how this progressed. The journey for several characters involved in this book isn't easy, and I really liked getting to see the HEA for quite a few of them.

Final Verdict
All About the Hype has to be my favorite book out of this series, and although this is the last book in this series I would love to see the future for Jessie or other characters, maybe in a spin off series, or a short on the authors website.
