More about this book

Holly Holley is so average it hurts ... until her cousin Cassie comes to stay, and Demi Larson takes her under her wing and makes life a whole lot more interesting. Book 8 in the Girlfriend series - real life, real emotions, awesome stories!

Description

My name is Holly Holley and I have given up routines.
Holly hates her name, her looks and her life. She isn't in with the right crowd and she has little hope of dating the gorgeous Raph McDonald. With Cassie staying, she has to move out of her bedroom into the tiny, smelly spare room, and she feels her life couldn't be more unfair. So when Demi, the coolest girl in school, invites Holly on a make-over shopping spree, she jumps at the chance. Even Cass can see that Holly is stretching her wings. But will she fly or fall?
Before long Holly learns that appearances can be deceptive and friendship can blossom in unexpected places ...
'I LOVED it. And the humour was great!! Go Holly Holley!!' Alex 16
