Entertaining. Sophie Kinsella always finds a way to make all of her books impossible to put down. I truly love the way she writes, as it is in the same way most of us think. (Well, that's obviously an assumed fact, at least the way I think).
A modern day romance about a woman, Poppy, who loses her engagement ring and is frantic (as you would expect), and then gets her cell stolen. After finding a phone in the bin she assumes it as her own and bargains with the owner, Sam, (well it was a company phone) to carry out its use until she replaces it.
Of course how can you be sharing a phone and not get mixed up in each others lives?
As someone very approachable and people pleasing, Poppy ends up interfering with Sam's business, though she means well, and for someone as closed off and serious as he is, it causes tension and eventually an understanding between them that really proves that opposites attract.
This book really makes me appreciate the fact that there are authors out there simply writing about normal mundane life. Poppy is engaged to a man who is highly intelligent and has an extremely successful family and well she is quite normal. She finds herself again throughout the novel and realizes happily ever after doesn't always mean what you think it will.
Poppy represents a lot of the simple qualities that you see within yourself. She can be kind of scatterbrained, insecure, frantic and altogether a genuine person.
Sophie Kinsella is extremely talented in the fact that every single one of her characters can easily be someone in your life and you see yourself walking in their shoes and really empathizing and laughing along with every twist and turn along the way. Sometimes starting over can be the best thing for you.
