I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella
Publisher: Bantam Press
Pages: 384
Format: Hardback
A special Thank you to my friend Catriona for letting me borrow her book!
I've lost it. :( The only thing in the world I wasn't
supposed to lose. My engagement ring. It's been in Magnus's family for
three generations. And now, the very same day his parents are coming,
I've lost it. The very same day. Do not hyperventilate, Poppy. Stay positive!! :)
A couple of glasses of bubbly with the girls at a charity do and
Poppy's life has gone into meltdown. Not only has she lost her
engagement ring, but in the panic that followed, she's lost her phone
too. As she paces shakily round the hotel foyer she spots an abandoned
phone in a bin. Finders keepers! Now she can leave a number with the
hotel staff. It was meant to be!
Except the phone's
owner, businessman Sam Roxton, doesn't agree. He wants his phone back,
and doesn't appreciate Poppy reading all his messages and wading into
his personal life. As Poppy juggles wedding preparations, phone messages
and hiding her left hand from Magnus and his parents, can things get any more tangled?
Review:
I've been waiting for a new Sophie Kinsella for awhile now and I was very exited to receive this book in that mail from my friend Catriona! It was so nice of her to let me borrow it!
I really liked the preface of this book. Girl finds phone in bin; girl starts snooping the emails in said phone. She basically becomes Sam's PA. I love how nosey Poppy is! I mean, I'd do the exact same thing. I really would ;) She is very real. Poppy is a totally normal girl.I love this about her. She is totally relateable.
The plot is fun. There are a lot of funny one liners. Some surprises, but mostly you're waiting for "the thing" tp happen. It is a bit predictable, but I don't necesarily think that's a bad thing. I like predictability. I thought the romance needs to be beefed up a bit. We only really got it at the very end and just a tiny sliver really. Not what I would expect from a Kinsella, but the ending was sweet. just wanted more.
I'd say this is not as good as some of Kinsella's older work, but it is still good. It is a bit more on the serious side, and not as funny. But, there are plenty laughable moments and fun to be had.
I liked it! Makes me want to read some of her other books! Did you read it? What did you think?
