Jessica, she was so vulnerable and open with her naïveté. Honestly I witnessed more girls in HS that was more on her level in terms of insecurity and learning themselves. I’m happy she has what she wants now, and turned her story into a success one.

Don't get me wrong - I love Stephen. I just wish he would let people speak and share (especially when they're meeting the guest virtually). We have gotten the same input from him SO many times and i just wish he would be a good listener instead of waiting for someone to stop talking so he can start. I find this is where him and Kristin really differ; I think Kristen is an EXCELLENT listener. No hate to Stephen, though!! Just my opinion ❤

I always liked Jessica. My impression of her was always that girl who felt like she needed to fit in, and didn't think she was pretty enough. Felt like she lacked confidence, but I myself could relate to that when I was in high school since you're so young and naive. She always seemed genuine person though and a good friend to have.
