About this ebook

*Winner of the Romantic Comedy Novel of the Year RNA Award 2015*

'My love story may not be the sort you read about in books or see in films . . . Love stories have glorious highs and ghastly lows. But when it comes to my own life, I'd have to say, you can keep your fabulous highs and I'll happily steer clear of the terrible lows.'

After a rocky start in life, Jenny Taylor, 27, star receptionist at the local doctors surgery, has things all worked out thanks to a list of ten daily things she must do to keep the blues at bay. 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.

Ratings and reviews

Such an enjoyable read, full of giggles and quips that kept rolling throughout the book. I cried sad tears too and found that although the book is humourous it touches on far deeper issues and scenarios of our lives that we can all relate too. Just a surprisingly delightful read.

After reading all her other books i was ready for another hilarious read. Wasn't as funny but still a great book.

Loved this book, couldn't put it down and was sad when it ended. First book by this author that I've read, but will definitely be reading more.
