I'm Just a Girl... is a real joy to read from start to finish - warm-hearted, laugh-out-loud funny, and full of surprises. Lucy-Anne Holmes treats serious themes with a refreshingly light touch, bringing her trademark humour to life's hurdles. In short, this is everything you need to sweep away those winter blues
Hilarious and wise in equal measure
A witty and heartwarming love story
Lucy-Anne Holmes manages to make you laugh a lot and cry a lot. I really love her books
Hilarious, honest and heartbreaking...totally absorbing, you will be entranced from the first few pages until the very end, we absolutely loved it. Highly recommended!
A feisty, fun, romantic read
Hilarious, sweet and all too relatable. Had me laughing out loud from the first page. Which was embarrassing
Jenny is an appealing protagonist with a great sense of humour . . . I laughed, I empathised and I enjoyed seeing the world through her eyes. This is a witty, honest and thoroughly modern love story
