Description
Step into the world of Jess and her 90 year old grandmother Norma who, with over 4.5 million devoted followers, have taken social media by storm with their infectious sense of humour and heart-warming bond.
Hi! I'm Jess, and if you follow us on social media, you'll already know my Nan, Norma. We've had so much fun writing this book together.
As well as plenty of personal stories we've never shared before - about our childhoods, our relationships and the moments that have shaped our lives together - this book is filled with Norma's brilliant one-liners and hilarious views on the world. You'll hear her thoughts on a huge range of topics, including me ('a tiresome little monkey'), my partner Jake ('Somebody must be paying him'), sex and dating ('Can't we get through a blurb without you bringing the tone down?'), self care ('Astral cream, you can't beat it') and more.
This book is for everyone who has laughed, cried and found comfort in our videos. It's been a joy to write it together. With it, we promise to bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart.
With love,
Jess and Norma xx
