What's a girl to do when she loses her boyfriend, best friend and job?For Holly Oakwood, finding her boyfriend in bed with her best friend and losing her job has turned her life upside down. So she picks up the pieces of her shattered heart and leaves London for Los Angeles to start her life anew. Holly lands a great job at a Consulate, but living across the pond doesn't go as easy as she thought it would. With a bitchy boss named Brittany, homesick, struggling with loneliness and trying to fit in, Holly gets herself into some crazy situations while trying to change her life. Wondering if she made a mistake in moving to LA, it takes making some new friends and having some suitors romantically interested in her to see that becoming a US transplant was the right decision after all!Transplanting Holly Oakwood is a delightfully sassy chick lit story that was a lot of fun to read. Written in the third person narrative that alternates between multiple points of view, author Di Jones weaves an entertaining tale that follows the crazy adventures of Holly Oakwood as she transplants her life from Britain to the US.I really enjoyed that Holly is a normal woman with flaws. Holly's quirkiness, ability to get herself into some crazy mishaps, make mistakes and overcome them endeared me to her character. You can't help but feel for Holly, but there were times when I couldn't help but snicker at her quirkiness, and I loved that she always stayed true to herself.I enjoyed the witty dialogue, comical interactions, and points of view from the other characters, they made for some good laugh-out-loud moments, especially Brittany, the bitchy boss from hell.
