Lucy Holliday (1)

I love social media for many reasons, but my favorite reason is the introduction of so many books I would never have been aware of without a tweet, podcast or instagram from a publisher, author or blogger. This is one of those, and thankfully I was able to get my hands on a copy. I know the phrase "laugh out loud" is used a lot, but this truly was just one of those hilarious books that made me guffaw on nearly every page. I think writing funny is very hard to accomplish and Lucy Holliday has show more managed it in spades. I can't wait until the rest of the series is published here in the states. show less

Libby is a mess. Her mother and sister take advantage of her at every turn as they aspire to bring the sister to fame or at least the cover a tabloid. Libby and her sister have been "acting" since they were children. Libby, as an adults gets occasional parts as an extra in movies (her mother is her agent and focuses most of her time and energy on the prettier sister). the story gets interesting when Libby gets a "haunted" sofa" from the props department and starts being visited by Audrey show more Hepburn who is fascinated with Libby's coffee maker and iPad. She gets all sorts of dating and fashion advice from the dead icon and her life gets better and better. Mine would, too if Audrey Hepburn were my therapist. show less

I wouldn't call it a literary masterpiece, but this book was SO FUN to read. I was laughing at Libby but also relating to some of her experiences. Definitely going to read the whole series!

Two sisters with a stage-mother bossing them around from young girls to adulthood. Libby’s not very good and manages to get involved in all sorts of scrapes and funny situations. Lots of laugh out loud ridiculous, clutzy situations and the imaginary ghost (?) of Audrey Hepburn with advice.
