Jennifer Brown's Journey by Angie Langley

“Hold onto your hats, Jennifer Brown is a whirlwind ready to rip apart your reading list. Jennifer Brown’s Journey is Angie Langley’s debut novel but it more than packs a punch”
Five feet one and full of fizz, Jennifer Brown lights up the room. She has a gorgeous partner, a wicked best friend, and a boss who doesn’t mind that she’s the worst typist on the planet. She’s loyal, generous and irredeemably ditzy. Everyone loves Jennifer Brown.But can she learn to love herself? When her world caves in, she needs every ounce of her steely core to step back from the abyss and take charge of her life, reinventing herself first as cook and housekeeper to a saucy sexagenarian, then as manager of a tumbledown country estate with sensitive secrets.Peopled by a battalion of hilarious characters from the caustic, cross-dressing confidant to the besotted ex-boyfriend with a barmy ex-wife, Jennifer Brown’s Journey is a heartwarming, thoughtful, often poignant portrait of the trials of life as a thirty-something woman.Jennifer Brown champions the importance of self-belief, and the value of a bucket-sized glass of wine in a tight spot.And, always in the background, there’s the quiet man with the warm eyes, and the velvet vowels.What on earth is Jennifer Brown going to do about him?

Angie Langely is the first author to offer me the chance to review her book which I am very grateful for even though I've only started up.

Part One - The Office
Working as a personal assistant for the head of the company, Jennifer is trusted to send out emails on his behalf but is often embarrassed by the good old autocorrect and making out things more interesting than then seem.
After leaving her cheating boyfriend Pete, she suddenly finds herself homeless and running out of options to move into. Does she move into the hippy dippy girl with twenty cats, some chickens and a 3 legged goat, or move into a caravan where the one next door gets used as her boss's love nest.
Or, what about once in a lifetime experience to travel to Australia and visit an old flame to rekindle a romance

Part Two - Fishers Keep
The second section of  the book follows Jennifer's next stage in her new life and making choices for herself.
After changing career paths to become a housekeeper (slight undomestic goddess by Sophie Kinsella Vibes from this chapter, which is great because I loved that one!) for an older man who Jennifer thinks wants more than a housekeeper.
After learning how to become the perfect housekeeper to the Gerald, Jennifer faces a challenge of him finding a wife to fill his lonely nights and his quest involves going to many countries to find a younger woman. Whilst Jennifer is at Fishers Keep she wonder what will be next for her career path and will eventually move onto the next part of life once she's steered the man in the right direction (notice the trend with Johnathon as well)

Part Three - Thornhill Hall
The final part of Jennifer Brown's Journey is the next part of the  when she becomes an estate manager for an elder gentlemen called George who is completley different to Gerald (doesn't try to come on to her)
After her contract gets extended, she becomes a part of the Thornhill family along with the owners and the other staff members.

My Opinions on the book:
I am very lucky to have had the chance to read the book (thanking you again Angie!). I feel on some levels I can relate to: being short, clumsy and constantly making typo's and constantly trying to be a bubbly person!
I would love to hear and follow up on Jennifer's Brown journey and find out if she ever goes out with David Harwood (who is clearly very keen, go girl!)
But for now, I'll leave you the links below of the how to buy it as an ebook from amazon  and the website of the author.
