Sophie Kinsella’s I’ve Got Your Number is a typical Kinsella contemporary romance – it’s funny and romantic, at times silly, and just gives off loads of warm-fuzzies. Poppy Wyatt is in love and about to be married to the perfect man, but first she has to find her engagement ring – the one that’s been in her fiance’s family for generations. When we meet her, she’s in a complete tizzy – which doesn’t abate when her phone’s stolen. How unlucky can a girl in love be?
But Lady Luck must’ve been watching, because Poppy finds a phone – in the garbage, no less – and appropriates it. Because a girl in love, with a missing engagement ring, absolutely must have a phone. Right? Not according to Sam Roxton, it’s not. After all, the phone belongs to his PA. Or did, anyway…
And what comedy follows as Poppy assures Sam that she can handle passing on any messages (text, email, voice) that make its way to “her” phone, all so she can get a call when her ring’s found. Then – because Kinsella’s characters always have to meddle – Poppy decides to “help” Sam by replying to said messages. Never mind that she really doesn’t have any clue what the situation might be, or what she might be committing Sam to.
All of Kinsella’s heroines are a bit ditzy, and her heroes have the patience of saints. But she sure does entertain with her witty dialog, and in this case, snappy texts and emails. Definitely one for your shelf if you’re a fan of Brit chick-lit.

These are such silly fun, but I do love them. At points Poppy did make my eyes roll though with her ridiculousness and overreactions.
I liked that she and Wanda eventually started to really get along- that was a nice surprise.
This was some light, easy reading, with some cute funny scenes. Sophie Kinsella has the chic-lit down to a tee here, and I'm quite happy to move onto something a little heavier to read with this as a nice break inbetween huge novels!

I apologize profusely to anyone I have ever side-eyed for being squeamish while reading horror, because I imagine it felt a lot like that.
This is one of her best books. Follows her spazzy heroine model but Poppy is not nearly as unbelievable as the Shopaholic books. I read this in 2 marathon bedtime reading sessions. I recommend!

I absolutely LOVE Sophie Kinsella. Her books never fail to put a smile on my face. This book is no exception. Poppy is fun and lovable. She wants everyone to be happy, which is why she begins to interfere in Sam's life. She means well, but you know what they say about good intentions...
I really enjoyed the back and forth bantering of Sam and Poppy. They are so different and had a lot of "helpful" advice for each other. Willow was great too, Poppy's thoughts about her were even better.
There was one scene that bothered me in the book. I really just wanted to smack Poppy upside the head and scream, but all was well in the end.
There are footnotes. Back in college I would skip over footnotes, if they were important they wouldn't be a footnote would they? I didn't think I would read them but then I'd get to the bottom of the page and read it anyway because it was funny. Eventually I got used to seeing the number and reading the footnotes.
I think this is my new favorite non-shopaholic book by Sophie Kinsella.

Exactly the kind of book I'd want to fling across the wall.
Sophia Kinsella is a well-known author with some great books. This is not one of them. Do yourself a favor and read any of her other books besides this one. I can't imagine they could be any worse.
I just- I don't understand where the romance was, the chemistry. Sure they talked a bit throughout the book but there was hardly any flirting or bonding of any kind. The entire relationship seemed super forced and it was almost uncomfortable to read. The plot was interesting and I had high hopes for what the author would do with it but wow, I was severely disappointed.
Not only did the main characters not get to know each other in any sort of way past the most very surface level things, neither did we get to know the characters well at all. The only thing we knew about Poppy was that she doesn't like her fiance and she has no qualms with violating other people's privacy. All we learn about Sam is that he's a business man who doesn't care about dental hygiene. That and he's totally fine stealing away another man's fiance, even if she doesn't seem super happy about the impending marriage that's still a dick move.
I would skip this book if I were you, it made me angry more than anything else because I'm pretty sure my niece could write a better love story. And she's literally a dog.

I read it through to the end. It made me nervous, there were a lot of misunderstandings, which is a thing I hate in books and TV shows. I'm annoyed with Sophie Kinsella's bumbling but lovable heroines so I have no idea how or why I finished this.
