Firstly I'd like to thank the author (@fluffypen on Twitter) for sending me this eBook to read and review.The synopsis caught my interest straight away and after just a few pages it was confirmed that I would really enjoy this book.  It started off with an email - this is something I always seem to enjoy in stories so it was a good opener for me.As the title suggests, Hollie tried a fair amount of different jobs throughout the story, her experiences were often humorous and made me laugh many times.  When I'm reading a book I make notes of things that I particularly enjoy or make me laugh and this book had so many!  Just a few of my favourite moments included some crazy police officers who seemed rather obsessed with dead bodies, office staff whose lives were ruled by cake day, tea cups and trying not to overheat, and the best moment for me was the bee incident - something that had me crying with laughter as I pictured the scene.Hollie herself was a great character, she was a bit of a daydreamer and quite naive in some ways.  I found these qualities endearing and actually felt quite protective over her, particularly when she was being messed around by a few not-so-nice individuals.  I really loved her notebook obsession because I also love a pretty notebook and could relate to that side of her.Gavin was another interesting character and I found myself really looking forward to another planned/unplanned meeting with him and Hollie, I was keeping my fingers crossed for something to happen between them.The wonderfully romantic ending put a big smile on my face and I was sad that the story had finished - I wanted more!This is a fun, light read with lots of laughs, I look forward to reading more from Lauren Milner-Howells.
