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.
22.11.2024 16:47 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0This 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.

22.11.2024 16:47 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Janice 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.
22.11.2024 16:47 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Janice’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.
22.11.2024 16:47 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0O wow! Stunning new review by @snehasbookshelf over on Instagram. Here's what she had to say:
--Okay, Becoming Janice is the kind of book that grabs your heart, messes with your emotions, and still makes you cheer by the end.
That’s me to a T🙃 You too?

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

Bean there… done that
Psst… if you feel like doing an ARC for my “Becoming Janice” feel free to let me know

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… 👻

Good morning world! Today I'm proud to present a new take on an old problem - how to beat writer's block - with huge thanks to all the survivors who kindly shared their solutions
