Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination - Leisure Reading PR6056.I4588 O44 2004

If you’re a fan of Jennifer Weiner and Sophie Kinsella, pick up Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination. It is classic British Chick Lit - far-fetched, embarrassing, and funny. Olivia Joules is a journalist who secretly wishes she was a spy. And when her editor sends her on assignment, gets the chance to become one. There’s romance, suspense, and exotic locations. The book didn’t end where I expected it to, and that’s why I liked it. If you’re looking for a fluffy, preposterous tale, Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination is the ticket!
-Leigh Ann DePope, Serials Librarian

Hope everyone takes time to enjoy a great book over the holidays!
