The Other Gilmore - Jess Mariano
Valarie Gilmore wasn't supposed to end up in Stars Hollow. Nineteen, chain-smoking, working shifts at Luke's and the Dragonfly, and sneaking off to karaoke bars to belt Cher like it's survival-she's the Gilmore girl no one expected. She doesn't fit. Not with Rory, who thinks Val's reckless. Not with the town, who whispers about her late nights and sharp edges. Lorelai's her only anchor, but even that can't cure the ache of being stuck between invisible and misunderstood. Then Jess Mariano shows up-Luke's brooding nephew with a chip on his shoulder and a smirk that cuts too deep. From the moment they meet, it's war: insults, sabotage, and sparks they both pretend to hate. But Jess sees through Val in ways no one else dares. And the more he pushes, the more she pushes back-until the line between enemy and something far more dangerous starts to blur. Messy, raw, and addictive, The Extra Gilmore is a mature reimagining set during Gilmore Girls Season 2: a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers story about finding your place, losing control, and the one person you can't stand becoming the only one you can't ignore.![CHERRY.
