I'm not usually a great fan of cartoon- type people on the front of novels, but I love this cover. I don't mind the cartoons at all. The guy cartoon is actually a bit of a hunk.
The magical colours, wispy illustrations and quirky font all make me want to pick this book up and give it a cuddle.
Anyhoo. Written is by Lucy Anne Holmes – a VERY funny writer – Unlike a Virgin will be released in September. That's aaaages away, I know. But I reckon it will be awesome, so worth waiting for.

The blurb reads…
Is Gracie in love for the very first time? You know that bit in The X Factor, when the singer tells everyone about the rocky road they travelled to pursue their dream? Well, that's Gracie Flowers' story. Gracie is very focused for a woman of almost twenty-six. Her favourite book is 'The 5-Year Plan: Making the Most of Your Life'. And her five-year plan is going very well. That is, until she is usurped from her big promotion by a handsome, posh idiot; she is dumped by her boyfriend; and discovers her loopy mother is facing bankruptcy. Hormones awry and ice cream over-ordered, a dream Gracie thought she'd buried ten years ago starts to resurface. A dream that reminds her of the girl she used to be and everything she wanted to become.
