total meltdown. The whole school watching. Now Poppy’s an ex-straight-A with no
Plan B.
When Poppy Johnson throws away a full scholarship to Columbia, she can only blame the jelly beans. The yucky green ones? Midnight cram sessions and Saturday’s spent studying. The delicious red? The family legacy: Columbia, and a future in finance. Except now it’s starting to look like Poppy’s jelly bean theory is wrong. School has been her life until, but maybe it’s time to start living now.
Poppy has thirty days to try a new life. No school, no studying. Just jumping
into every possible world. Thirty days to find her passion, her path, and maybe
even love. The Jelly Bean Crisis is officially on.When Poppy Johnson throws away a full scholarship to Columbia, she can only blame the jelly beans. The yucky green ones?

“I wish I could take it all back, but I can’t. And I definitely can’t un-feel a feeling.”
Jelly
Bean Crisis by Jolene Stockman was to say the least a pretty amazing and unique
read. This is one of those reads that is going to stick with you and actually
teach you something you will remember for your years to come.
What
if you had your whole life planned out ahead of you, every stepping stone set
in place to lead you to your life goal, What if one day you realized maybe it
wasn’t the plan you wanted after all? The Jelly Bean Crisis follows Poppy,
Poppy has her life all set in front of her, she is going to get a full
scholarship to Columbia, and go into finance, just like her dad and grand-dad
did. That is until she realizes that her whole life has been centered on what
everyone else wants…not what she wants. Now Poppy has thirty days to do
whatever she wants, take chances, try new things, meet new people, but once the
thirty days is up, will Poppy decide to take the path she has had set for
years? Or will she create a whole new blue print?
This
read was shockingly good, I must say first going into the Jelly Bean Crisis I
didn’t really know what to expect, but I am happy to say it was very good! The
Jelly Bean Crisis is a contemporary read I think any adult or teen will enjoy!
My
favorite part of The Jelly Bean Crisis was the message it gives (or at least
the message it gave me!). It teaches you to do things for yourself, and to not
let other people tell you what your dreams are or tell you what you should do
with your life, and because of that message I feel this is a book most people
can relate to. I have had numerous times where family members would tell me
what I should do with my life, and then tell me that what I wanted to do was
unrealistic or that I probably wouldn’t like it blah blah, and after reading
Jelly Bean Crisis I feel much better about choices I make. The bottom line of
this book is you should do things for you, do things that make YOU happy, not
everyone else.
While
the message of this novel was my favorite part there was deff other parts I
enjoyed. Such as the overall story, and the sweet romance. The overall story of
The Jelly Bean Crisis really surprised me with how much I enjoyed it, I’m not a
huge contemporary reader so going into this I was a little worried, but right
off the bat when I started The Jelly Bean Crisis I couldn’t put it down! I read
the novel in one sitting without even realizing it. Jolene’s writing flowed so
easily it was hard to find a good spot where I wanted to put it down!
Along
with the overall story I really loved the romance. While the romance was there,
it was not a big part of the story at all. It was a very slight part in the
story which actually made me like the story even more, the romance wasn’t forced
it was something that was there though and it was a nice cute romance.
Overall
The Jelly Bean Crisis is a novel I would recommend to anyone looking for
something different in the YA genre, it was a book I picked up hesitantly, but
am now glad to announce that I loved it!
