Review: I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella

I honestly think that Sophie Kinsella is the queen of Chick Lit. She creates these amazing characters and the funniest stories, so when I've Got Your Number came out the first thing I did after finishing my happy-dance was buy it. It was worth every penny.

Poppy -I love this name- is freaking out. She lost her engagement ring when she was at a party and she gives her number to everyone at the hotel so they can get in touch once they find it. But then she gets mugged, so she finds herself phoneless and desperate. That’s when she finds a phone in a trash can and decides to keep it for herself. But with the phone comes Sam Roxton (it used to belong to his assistant), a business man that after some convincing, agrees to let her keep it with the condition that she forwards every message and email to him.

Review: Twenties Girl By Sophie Kinsella

Sophie Kinsella’s books have been on my TBR pile for a long time but last September when I moved to London (I have never been here before), I thought that it would be nice to read a local author. I started with the Shopaholic Series (I watched the movie but, as usual, the books is so much better) and immediately fell in love with her stories. She makes me feel so related to her heroines that Sophie has become one of my favorite authors.

This past weekend I was in need of a new “Sophie’s Girl” adventure and decided to read one of her stand-alone novels (you have to read Can you keep a secret? Is soooo funny!) I read Twenties Girl and yes, Sophie did it again! This book delivered as I expected, is a sweet story that will make you more sensible about your older relatives and how they feel when they are getting old. You are going to have a good laugh through the entire book and it will make you think about Sadie every time someone says “There is a voice in my head!”

Twenties Girl is the story of 27 years old Lara and her 105 year old Great Aunt Sadie. It begins with Sadie’s funeral when any of her relatives can say a thing about Sadie’s life. She had a stroke in the 80’s and since then she lived in a Nursing Home –for 29 years-. Her 23 year old ghost is aghast because she can’t find her necklace and she is going to be cremated without it, she needs it to find peace and “move on”, that’s when she discovers that there is someone that can hear her: her great niece Lara.
