Holly is looking for love a career and happiness after finishing university. Having not found a job her father has set her up with a friend in a law office. Holly's lack of enthusiasm and job skills don't bode well for success and she decides it would be best to work for a temp agency until she finds just the right job for her.With a cheating ex-boyfriend who seems to be stalking her, a current boyfriend that has little time to spend with her (an a decided lack of spark) Holly's personal life is nothing to get excited about either.I have to say I had trouble liking Holly at the beginning. She appeared scattered, immature and unfocused. But as I kept reading I started to see her in an entirely different way and found myself not only liking her but hoping to see her succeed. This is a fun novel by a British author who will be on my watch list to see how she develops in her craft.Humor abounds and I recommend this one for a fun, easy, one day read. A really good beach book or take along on an outing, I curled up with a cup of Earl Gray and had a good time with it.Karen Bryant Doering,Parents' Little Black BookMistBlueEeyore@gmail.com
