About this listen

Getting a life isn't always easy. And hanging on to it is even harder....

Jodi Taylor brings all her comic writing skills to this heartwarming tale of self-discovery.

Known as The Nothing Girl because of her severe stutter and chronically low self-confidence, Jenny Dove is only just prevented from ending it all by the sudden appearance of Thomas, a mystical golden horse only she can see. Under his guidance Jenny unexpectedly acquires a husband - the charming and chaotic Russell Checkland - and for her nothing will ever be the same again.With overprotective relatives on one hand and the world's most erratic spouse on the other, Jenny needs to become someone. And fast!

Fans of Jodi Taylor's best-selling Chronicles of St. Mary's series will adore the quirky humour in this new, contemporary novel. Jodi Taylor, International Woman of Mystery, spent some time working undercover for North Yorkshire County Library Service. Heavily disguised as the world's most incompetent facilities manager, she shifted dead dogs, fell out of mobile libraries, and spent far too much time in the gents' toilets. The idea to rewrite history first came to her while studying history A level at an evening class.

Just One Damned Thing After Another is her first novel and was originally self-published as an ebook; it was downloaded by more than 60,000 readers on Amazon.

Fabulous story

I really loved this book. The story was lovely, sweet, sad, thoughtful and still gave an element of surprise. Loved the narrator too and the characters were great. Just downloaded 'Little Donkey' a short follow up but I could have carried on for hours more listening to the lives of Jenny, Russell Checkland and Thomas! More please :-)

Heart warming, sad, funny

Another wonderful story from Jodi Taylor. Her usual rich characters and a heroine who finds the strength to overcome a heartbreaking childhood and find herself.

Want the feel good factor?

.... then read this book!

I didn't want it to end! A fabulous story which makes you laugh, cry, gasp and say aww!

I love Jodi Taylor's style of writing and read this after finishing the latest Chronicle of St Mary's book and wondering if Jodi had written anything else. I definitely wasn't disappointed. More please!

Not at first, but then couldn't stop!

Any additional comments?

I love Jodi Taylor's time travelling books and wasn't sure about listening to this one. I am so glad that I did - it's a beautiful story and I loved every moment of it.

Lovely story

This is a lovely story.
Just a note to fans of the St Mary’s book, this one is not comedy. Nor is it tragedy. But it is a heartwarming story.

Warm, lovely and sad

A book to get lost in. The premise is ridiculous - an invisible horse? - and the people seem weirdly out of place in modern society, but somehow it works for me. It's sometimes sad, sometimes funny and sometimes cheerful but it makes you feel like living and growing along with Jenny. I was sad when it ended and it felt like a good bye!

Refreshing and beguiling story.

Thoughtful story about the type of people that make or break others. Look forward to the next books in the series.
Really easy listen thanks to the great narration. Recommend

Something different - really enjoyed this!

This wasn't what I expected but better. Clever twists and kept me guessing until the end. Good narration too.
