Description from the book:
Lara Lington has always had an overactive imagination, but suddenly that imagination seems to be in overdrive. Normal professional twenty-something young women don't get visited by ghosts. Or do they?
When the spirit of Lara's great-aunt Sadie--a feisty, demanding girl with firm ideas about fashion, love, and the right way to dance--mysteriously appears, she has one last request: Lara must find a missing necklace that had been in Sadie's possession for more than seventy-five years, and Sadie cannot rest without it. Lara, on the other hand, has a number of ongoing distractions. Her best friend and business partner has run off to Goa, her start-up company is floundering, and she's just been dumped by the "perfect" man.
Sadie, however, could care less.
Lara and Sadie make a hilarious sparring duo, and at first it seems as though they have nothing in common. But as the mission to find Sadie's necklace leads to intrigue and a new romance for Lara, these very different "twenties" girls learn some surprising truths from each other along the way. Written with all the irrepressible charm and humor that have made Sophie Kinsella's books beloved by millions, Twenties Girl is also a deeply moving testament to the transcendent bonds of friendship and family.
My take on this book selection:
I really loved this book!! It was everything I'd hoped it would be. The relationship between both Lara and Sadie is magic to read. You'd never think two such strong-minded women would get along, but they have an undeniable chemistry. I always enjoy a book, that can stir many emotions in me. I hated the uncle for all his faults, I loved Lara for her empathetic nature, and I respected Sadie for her honesty. This too was a book that at times had me laughing out loud. A very interesting book that I would highly recommend to any reader!
Just a note, Sophie Kinsella also wrote, Confessions of a Shopaholic. Which was turned into a movie this past year. A cute comedy starring Isla Fisher, Joan Cusack, John Goodman, John Lithgow and more.... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1093908/

Love this one! I'm a huge fan of Kinsella as well : ) I can always count on her for a good read.
ReplyDeleteIf you like Sophie Kinsella, I think you would really love a book I wrote called 'Knickles and Dimes'. It's a really fun read, with laugh-out-loud characters and a great story. I hope you'll check it out!
