Is there such thing as an adult fairytale? And if there is, do adult fairy tales end happily? Meet Holly Brown, a Manhattan interior designer. Divorced, her biological clock having gone off years before, Holly is about to find out where dreams come from and how, no matter how hard you try, you can't deny exactly who you are. A charming tale of innocence to ... more innocence, where perhaps all we consider imperative really isn't so very important at all, "The Holly Brown Chronicles," offers a laugh-out-loud perspective on contemporary culture.

What is the true mark of a great read?
For me, it's when I wind up reading it everywhere I am.... because I can't put it down. And I get around! HA.
The Holly Brown Chronicles was a great read that literally went with me over the course of 48 hours to all of the above locations.
Well, not the plane, but it might as well have... because I was IN the private jet mentioned in the book, along with Holly.
Make it your own "good thing" ...as it was mine!

Loved this book and can't wait for the sequel! The Holly Brown Chronicles was so much fun. Perfect reading for by the pool, in front of the fire on a rainy day, in the airport. Truly enjoyed Holly, her friends and their adventures, and am looking forward to seeing what they all do next. Stylish and flirty, thoughtful and funny and playful, this book was a lovely way to spend a couple of afternoons.

Beautiful story of childhood trauma and the warmth of good friends who create a catapult of hope for the lovely creature Holly

Recently finished reading Jes Alexander's Holly Brown Cronicles, which ended all too soon! As I stepped into her lovely spun world, I was stunned and emoted by the beauty of the atmosphere and the wealth of warmth between her characters. I was struck through to my heart at the first, by the precious little girl traumatized by loss and found myself looking down at my own child gloved hands in a church pew at 9. The journey thereafter reeled into a whirlwind of adventure, high humor and became a feast for my inner eye. This is an amazing story about love, overcoming loss and the ability to cultivate hope beyond circumstances, with a twist of flirty fun. Highly recommended! Can't WAIT to see what happens next! Hi sequel, how are yah! Kudos Jes! ~ Debra Joy

AMAZING must read!!!
I found myself taking a journey with Holly Brown. And now I feel she is missing after I have finished the book and put her down. But it's okay because we will always have Paris!
