"Reinventing Jenna Rose" by Joni Marie Iraci follows the story of a 17-year-old young girl named Jenna Rose, who was raised in a toxic and isolated household marked by her father’s heinous crimes and absent mother. Upon discovering that she has a grandmother in New York, she embarks on a courageous journey to find her and escape the toxic world she’s grown up in. Follow Jenna as she navigates the complex layers of her past and the uncertainty of her future. 

This novel paints a compelling and novel portrait of childhood abuse. While Jenna's abuse at the hands of her parents is truly horrendous, it doesn’t break her spirit; rather, it forges a resilient and determined young woman who takes charge of her own destiny. This was evidently shown when she decided to leave the law firm and forge a new path for herself. Throughout the court proceedings, I couldn’t help but be in awe of Jenna’s unwavering strength and courage. Despite the adversity she faced, she held her head high and remained true to herself. It really warmed my heart to see the relationships Jenna built with her grandmother and Gypsy. It’s a beautiful reminder that, even in the darkest of times, it just takes one caring person to provide the light, the hope, and the guidance that can alter the trajectory of one’s life. Her relationships with these characters demonstrate the transformative power of empathy, compassion, and unconditional love.

I didn't appreciate how the book ended, but overall, there wasn't anything that stood out as negative. I hope there will be a sequel to answer some of the unresolved questions I have, though. Regardless, I rate it a 5 out of 5. 

I recommend this book to those interested in contemporary fiction, particularly complex family dynamics and personal growth.
