ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Just Jones
Series: Noticer #3
Author: Andy Andrews
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Release Date: September 8, 2020
Genre: Inspirational Fiction/Magical Realism

From New York Times bestselling author Andy Andrews comes the return of one of our favorite fictional characters: Jones, the noticer. A mysterious elderly man with white hair and endless wisdom who always appears to show up exactly when he’s needed most.

At 3:29 a.m. on May 22, a telephone rings in Orange Beach, Alabama. Breaking the sleepy silence inside the bedroom of New York Times bestselling author Andy Andrews, a hastily whispered message heralds the news that Andy has been waiting on for seven years: Jones is back in town. Apparently, however, he is also in jail.

The old man is tight-lipped about the circumstances surrounding his brief incarceration. After arriving to bail him out, Andy is shocked to discover that his trusted friend has already opened an unusual business in one of the resort town’s most high-profile shopping districts. Jones’s Five & Dime seems to always have exactly what visitors are looking for, even as their fate steadily becomes entwined with Jones’s.

As the town moves from spring to summer, a practical joker is becoming bolder and more inventive with every prank that is pulled. Could Jones be behind some of it? Why? And what will happen if he is? What’s the truth about that four-hundred-pound table in his Five & Dime? What compels certain people to gather around it every morning? And why does it look as if every person Jones meets has a secret they will reveal only to him?

With rare insight, Andy and Jones take us on a journey that proves the importance of perspective, the power of connection, and the ability we all have to make the impossible come true.

My Review 💛

I did not have the privilege of reading the first few books in the Noticer series, so it took me a minute to get my bearings in this story but once I did I fell in love with Just Jones. For me, it felt a little disjointed at first, with multiple stories that ricochet back and forth, and multiple characters with what at first appears to be storylines that have nothing to do with another, but as I read further, slowing witnessing each narrative intersect, it was nothing short of breathtaking, and incredibly poetic.

This is a tale that we all can identify with in one way or another, and the wisdom that Joes speaks to everyone that he comes in contact with is so spot on, and thought-provoking, not only for the person in the story, but to the reader as well. I highlighted quite a few passages of sage advice that I plan to ponder on later, especially the part about coffee. I've always had an obsession with coffee, but this analogy took that love to a whole other level. I also would kill to try Just Jones Java!

As with all books by Andy Andrews the writing is masterful, and the attention to facts and details are unparalleled. He is such an exquisite storyteller! I was blown away with how much I enjoyed this book, especially with how rocky the beginning was for me, but now I plan on going back and reading the first two books in the series. I can't help myself! I'm in love with Jones!

My Rating: ★★★★★
