Jemima J

A brilliant thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining book, Jemima is a young lady who is in need of a number of life changes. 

She’s overweight, treated like a skivvy by her flatmates, and belittled by her colleagues.

She does embark on big changes in her life, and when she achieves the goals that she sets for herself, realises that it doesn’t matter how much you change the outside of your body, it’s what’s on the inside that counts.

A definite life lesson and we should also just be kind, because we never know what is happening in someone’s life. 

Catfish before there was Catfish. Though technically chick lit and not a romance, this book is old-school catfishing. Think scanning in doctored photos to email. No dating apps. No apps. It feels quaint nowadays.

Jemima Jones goes through a transformational weight loss to meet the man of her dreams, and of course, finds herself along the way. (And the guy who was always right in front of her – in true early chick lit fashion.)

I remember laughing out loud (before LOL was a thing) at this book when it first came out. And I really remember the smell of… show more.
