But her life is turned upside down when she meets aspiring musician Joe King. And reliable boyfriend Matt proposes. And then her mum leaves her dad and moves into Jenny’s flat determined to ‘bond’.
Hilarious, honest and heartbreaking, Just a Girl, Standing in Front of a Boy is an edgy modern love story that will make you look at your own love story in a whole new way. Lucy-Anne Holmes is the bestselling author of 50 Ways to Find a Lover.

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
A feisty, fun, romantic read
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
Hilarious, sweet and all too relatable. Had me laughing out loud from the first page. Which was embarrassing
A witty and heartwarming love story
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!
Hilarious and wise in equal measure
Lucy-Anne Holmes manages to make you laugh a lot and cry a lot. I really love her books
