CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Transplanting Holly Oakwood by Di …
Di Jones is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Transplanting Holly Oakwood. When Holly finds her boyfriend in bed with her best friend, her world comes crashing down. Not sure where to turn or who to trust, she flees from London to Los Angeles to work for a great job – a Consulate – and tries to forget the betrayal. But life in LA proves no easier than what she left behind. Her boss Brittany is a snob, her body type is nowhere near the norm, and she struggles with homesickness as loneliness envelopes her. The only thing that seems to get her by is her new friendships – and a possible love interest. But can Holly really move on from her life in London and find happiness in LA?
Transplanting Holly Oakwood is a true chick lit book, and so much fun to read. Poor Holly can’t seem to cut a break wherever she is – London, LA, doesn’t matter! I could really feel for her and how she seemed not to fit in. And her boss Brittany – what a B word! It was fun that we were able to get POV’s from other characters, including the famed Brittany, and I thought that really added a lot to the story. I loved the romance because I didn’t know which man was going to win in the end – and Holly had three possible suitors along the way, if you count her douche-canoe of an ex. Holly got into so many comical – and frustrating – situations, but I was happy with her ending and I highly enjoyed this novel. One for chick lit readers!
