Jess and Norma by Jessica Asquith
The hilarious and heartwarming autobiography from social media's favourite grandma and granddaughter Hi! I'm Jess, and if you follow us on social media, you’ll already know my Nan, Norma. In this book, we want to open up about the personal events that have shaped our unbreakable bond – from the adventures we’ve been on to the great loves and losses we’ve experienced. We receive so many questions about Nan’s earliest memories, her childhood and her marriage to my granddad Michael, and it has been incredibly special to record these cherished stories together. Through the highs and the lows, Nan’s candid reflections on the world have ensured we’ve shared enough laughter for a lifetime. You can expect to find plenty of them here, including her hilarious thoughts on me (‘a tiresome little monkey’ ), my partner Jake (‘Somebody must be paying him’), 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. We’ve written this for everyone who has found comfort in our videos. We hope it brings a smile to your face and warmth to your heart. With love, Jess and Norma xx
