Ended up sneaking a few lines in here and there, even in a lift whilst shopping!... Fab read, funny and LOL.' Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars You know when you sleep through your alarm, trip over running for the bus, and then someone points out that your dress is stuck into your hotdog-print knickers? That's basically my life right now. Gemma didn't expect her life to look like this. She's still living with her mother, who steals her leggings and tells her off for leaving crumbs in the butter. After twenty failed interviews she thought she'd bagged her dream job as a journalist except it turns out to be writing articles about cats that look like George Clooney. Luckily she has her wonderful boyfriend, Jack, to help her forget just how rubbish things are. Then Jack dumps her out of the blue. With nothing but her childhood teddy bear, Stanley, and a whole heap of heartbreak, Gemma resolves to turn things around. She throws herself into her new job and soon she's hanging out with cheeky, golden-haired hunk Charlie, eating in swanky restaurants and sipping trendy cocktails and her old life seems like a distant memory. But it's not long until her shiny new world starts to lose its sparkle and Gemma misses the days of wearing battered pink converse and eating peanut butter on toast in bed.
