Who is Holly Willoughby’s stylist? It all started with an idea. That idea turned into a quest. A quest to create a better alternative to the dreaded hospital gown. It had to be soft. It had to provide ample coverage. It had to allow room for monitor lines, IVs, casts, ports, and all the other things that can make a hospital stay uncomfortable; yet not be too bulky. It had to be functional. For younger aged patients, it had to be fun! For older patients, it had to be timeless. As well as Holly, she also chooses outfits for the likes of Rochelle Humes, Laura Whitmore and Christine Lampard.

As is the case with all of Beverly Lewis books, she has once again managed to put a great emphasis on the cultural-importance of books such as Best Friend, Worst-Enemy, considering the fact that she has discussed the struggles of overcoming a broken home and learning to live with a merged family and also growing-up Godly. I felt very sympathetic for Holly in this book. I had to move three times during my young life, and even though I enjoyed a change, sometimes it was hard leaving behind everything that you knew, including friends. I felt that Holly's stepfather and mother should have been a little more gentle with this news of moving after she almost lost her cat in the last book. I am glad things worked out in the end, though!Dr Ben Brierly twirled his wide-brimmed Akubra on one finger as he surveyed the empty consulting rooms. Wirralong Family Doctors Surgery. His! Best Friend, Worst-Enemy has been written from the 1st person POV. Therefore, author Beverly Lewis has given the readers great insight into the feelings and emotions of Holly. Furthermore, the book captures the readers’ heart and in the process takes them on an emotional journey. I really enjoyed this one. I was never allowed to go to camp as a kid and camp stories have always fascinated me. I loved the antics the girls got themselves into, and the addition of their camp counselor who was battling her own demons. Now, shattered over deaths of ppl close to them, they've both returned to their hometown. Unable to function properly after the tragic death of her patient two weeks after the death of her beloved younger sister in an accident that brought her orphaned six-year old twin nephews into her care, Holly decides to take a break from medicine and opens her sister's coffee shop at Wirralong to help supplement her savings. Four months later, there's news that the local doctor surgery is being opened & Ben is taking over as GP. She doesn't know how she's going to face him after her past treatment of him. You can definitely see Andie's rebelliousness in this book. I did feel terrible that Stan let his friend make those remarks about her, but was glad that he apologized in the end. I really like Holly and Sean together. I loved the way Beverly Lewis used Holly's father to bring his wife to God, and how Saundra used her new "prayer list" to announce her surprise anniversary trip to him. I wasn't sure if Holly's dad was honestly going to make it, but am glad that he did. I am also glad that Andie, despite how little I care for her most of the time, didn't make any big mistakes with Rico.

The adult involved did not generally reciprocate feelings, however the last line in the book is something to the effect of, “Maybe we’ll connect in four years” (when Holly is 18!). This is highly inappropriate. There doesn't seem to be an upcoming book in The Holly's Heart Series. The newest book is Its a Girl Thing and was released on October, 1st 2003.

The Trouble With Weddings--Holly's mother is getting married and Holly is determined to make her mother's wedding the best thing ever, even when her mother states she doesn't want a flashy wedding. She is also getting annoyed with Danny, who has been very preachy and controlling lately. When she discovers her first crush, Jared, still likes her, she can't help but be suspicious. So suspicious that she decides to test him. Set in Colorado, Holly and Andie her best friend all have a crush on Jared. However, in anticipation of such scenarios, the two had come up with rules to follow. Throughout Best Friend, Worst Enemy, author Beverly Lewis uses extremely great characterization and the readers get to see the growth in the extremely beautiful girl, Holly. As expected, Best Friend, Worst Enemy is an excellent foundation for what promises to be an excellent book series. Overall, Best Friend, Worst-Enemy has been brilliantly written.

The main thing I wanted to do was get her into more colour – so we tried everything on and went from there. I remember her saying, 'I’ve had my kids. I just need to change it up.'" Read more: I was disappointed that there wasn't any reconciliatory scene between Holly and Ben's grandmother considering she'd changed for the better and that she'd even given permission through Ben for Holly to use her property for the camp. The epilogue however was shown through her eyes and it isn't surprising to see that the twins have stolen her heart and she's looking forward to being a grandmother to them. We also get to see the couples from the previous books in the series, which was my missing in Elsa's stand - my only peeve with that book.

What Is The Next Book in The Holly's Heart Series?

One of the books in this set entirely revolved around the plot of 14yo Holly having a crush on an adult teacher. While language used and actions displayed were generally age appropriate, this plot was highly uncomfortable and generally out of character for this series. Holly's bathroom scene was hilarious. It's totally something I would do if I ever tried what she did. I liked Stan much better in this book, and I even liked Andie a bit better. I am very glad that Jared was not actually doing anything wrong, but I can't say I wasn't curious about Sean either. I like how the relationship between Holly and her stepmother changes. Her dad reading the classic Christmas story--Jesus' birth--was also a nice addition. Doctor Ben Briely is keen to settle into life as a small town general practitioner and help his grandmother run Briely Park. The city life was never for him. He’s finally found the peace he’s longed for, until the arrival of that one woman he’s never been able to forget, threatens to shatter it all. No way is he revisiting that road of unrequited love…except Holly Peterson seems fragile and in need of saving, and Ben’s never stopped being Holly’s white knight. As for Holly’s Heart, Holly and Ben both have had tragic events in their lives. While these are defining factors in their lives, they have managed to live with grace and purpose. I liked that about them. Also I like the focus that was on the twins, as well as how the Ben and Holly found such a positive balance for the four of them. The big surprise was Ben’s grandmother. Even she helped to keep this story heartwarming. I wish we could have know her husband, Ben’s grandfather. Perhaps we did a little since he must have been a lot like Ben. I liked this book pretty well. I am very relieved that Holly's mom did not marry Mr. Tate because I thought he was a controlling butt. I do feel bad for Zachary, though. I think Holly's mom can also be a bit selfish, and I still don't like Andie. I like the relationship between Holly and Danny a lot, even if he sometimes doesn't agree with her--no relationship is perfect! I also thought it was pretty cool that Holly got to meet her favorite author. Holly definitely grows in this chapter.
