The best part? It’s not just another love story. Becoming Janice is about realizing that the person you’re really searching for is you. It’s deep, it’s emotional, and it’s got just the right mix of heartbreak and hope to keep you flipping pages.

Plus, the writing is so immersive that you’ll feel like you’re right there in every messy breakup, bittersweet moment, and fresh start.

This book isn’t just about love; it’s about the messy, beautiful process of finding yourself. Janice’s growth is subtle but powerful—she goes from running away to finally owning her life, and you can’t help but root for her.

And can we talk about the settings? London gives off all the moody, introspective vibes, while Amsterdam is bursting with life and freedom, perfectly matching Janice’s emotional highs and lows.

Janice is so relatable—it’s like she’s making all the mistakes you’ve made (or might make), but in a way that feels raw and real. Her journey from heartbreak to healing had me hooked.

Janice’s life is a whirlwind—from losing her first love Ariel to navigating chaotic friendships with Kobus and Colin, and then falling hard for the glamorous (totally heartbreaking) Hannah. Just when you think she’s down for good, Kate swoops in, and Janice starts to piece herself back together.

I was once addicted to Pilcher. Have all her books. Must reread

Couldn’t agree more. I got spanked with a slipper twice when I was a kid. Once for trying to burn the house down (playing with matches) and the second time for lying… equally bad

Single cap = shift key on pc keyboard, iPad and iPhone. Olivetti Lettera 32 which I brought with me in 1979 from NZ to EU and still have today, tho now I use it (in its case) as a footstool under my desk

You should read my old diary, addressed to Dear Julie (Andrews) and entitled “The Memorable Memoires of My Adolescence”… your poetry/artwork would be good enough to win a Pulitzer compared to my tacky teenage tripe… 👻

Thank you for your kind words @kokedit.bsky.social I am so glad you enjoyed Janice!

Ah… I’m in a village just outside Groningen. No distance away in Canadian terms but a long way away in NL 🙃

Cappuccino or Chino for short

Where are you stranded? I’m up in the far north
