This was the cute story Poppy and Sam "meeting" by chance. Brought together under less than ideal circumstances, yet forging a connection through all of it.
Sophie Kinsella did a fantastic job of taking a crazy unbelievable storyline and making it totally lovable and hilarious! This story had it all:
* an unlikely situation,
* a rushed engagement,
* a lost family emerald heirloom ring,
* a stolen (not really since it was in a bin) cell phone,
* a sexy businessman,
* a song gram to the tune of Single Ladies by Beyonce,
* annoying best friends,
* creepy wedding planner,
* genius in-laws,
* and most importantly a sweet love story
There were so many parts of this story that made me laugh. Sophie Kinsella has an amazing writing style that can have me laughing out loud one minute and the next getting tears of happiness in eyes.
I felt some story lines had way too much time dedicated to them and not enough romance but it was still an overall good story! I really really want their to be a sequel for I want to get to know Poppy and Sam better. There wasn't a lot of detail on them but what there was I really enjoyed.
♥I would recommend this novel to others for a light beach read♥

“Except...I do. Of course I do. Because as his hands gently cup my waist, I don't make a sound. As he swivels me around to face him, I don't make a sound. I don't need to. We're still talking. Every touch he makes, every imprint of his skin is like another word, another thought, a continuation of our conversation. And we're not done yet. Not yet.”

“But sometimes you have to be brave. Sometimes you have to show people what's important in life.”

Literalmente yo cada vez que Poppy mandaba un mail haciéndose pasar por Sam:
Por fin. Vengo buscando un libro romántico y cómico desde hace bastante, y no podía encontrar ninguno por ningún lado. Y si bien "I've Got Your Number" no me voló la cabeza ni me pareció un libro súper wow, sí se me hizo entretenido e interesante. Poppy me hizo reír en más de una ocasión, y el libro en algunos momentos era tan absurdo y wtf que no sabía si quería llorar o reír.
El romance entre Sam y Poppy no está bien desarrollado. Tipo se conocen, se vuelven amigos (hasta ahí la cosa tenía sentido y era creíble). Pero después de repente, de un capítulo a otro, están en un bosque abrazándose y no queriendo separarse ¿? y en el siguiente capítulo se aman ¿?¿? What. Fue muy abrupto y absurdo, honestly.
Mi cerebro no podía entender qué le pasaba por la cabeza a Poppy cuando decidió perdonarlo a Magnus. Tipo, la mina no lo amaba, y lo sabía, ¿e igual accede a seguir con la boda? Lo mismo cuando está caminando por el altar onda no quería casarse pero igual iba caminando down the aisle ¿? tipo poppy la puta que te re mil parió hermana sabés cómo me hiciste chivar en esas 5 páginas
Una de las pocas cosas que odio de los libros románticos es que siempre suele haber una public display of affection al final del libro después de una pelea entre los protagonistas, y la mayoría de las veces, los autores hacen que esta manifestación de afecto sea completamente absurda, irreal y cringe. Pero la de este libro me gustó (lo cual es very unheard of). Eso es, hasta el final final. Cuando Poppy sale de la iglesia (con todos los otros invitados atrás de ella, mind you) para reunirse con Sam, y la mamá de Magnus (hombre con el cual Poppy se iba a casar, pero decidió que mejor no - MIENTRAS AMBOS ESTABAN EN EL ALTAR) le dice "he's the one, isn't he? Go get him." tipo SEÑORA me está jodiendo, en lo que a usted respecta Poppy bien podría haber estado engañando a Magnus con Sam, ¿y vos la alentás a ir con él? What the actual fuck?
Bro, don't even get me started con la cantidad de cosas ilegales que hizo Poppy en este libro y no tuvieron repercusión alguna sjsjs: a) robó un celular, b) se negó a devolverlo y c) se hizo pasar por otra persona. Like that bitch belongs in prison.
En concusión, it was good, but not good enough.
3 de 5 estrellas.

Thank goodness for this book! I've been struggling to find a book that would keep me interested for hours at a time (after reading a hundred pages of several different books, only to drop them when I realized I just didn't care.) Anyway, I read this in one day's time, laughing out loud over and over again. (My daughter thought I was nuts.)
The book focuses on the relationship between two people brought together when our narrator finds a phone in a garbage can. The two strangers proceed to share the phone, in a way. But there is loads more to the book, including a subplot involving a corporate scandal.
Poppy, the narrator, is funny and charming. You can't help but root for her. IMHO, Kinsella hasn't been this good since the early Shopaholics. And who knew footnotes could be so funny?

A fun read and very like Jill Mansell's books which I love. Lots of witty dialogue and impossible farcical situations. Candy-like escape.

It's a very cute book. I'm rereading this after 5 or more years and the fact that I still enjoyed it surely means something.
Although, I do agree that the end was a little weird.A lot of people were not held accountable, the Tavishes had the audacity to act like they were sweethearts, and the 'friend' did not hesitate to call dibs on Magnus the moment she saw that Poppy wasn't interested. It was a less than satisfying end on the revenge plot's side, however it also kind of makes sense given how much of a pushover Poppy is. It would have been weirder if she held everyone accountable and confronted everyone, and caused a huge scene a few days before the wedding (The scene that was caused wasn't that bad, in my opinion)
However, it is a romance story, and BOY was the romance satisfying 😩 there were sweet moments, there was that slow understanding and closeness (not too much of a slow burn, but not insta-love either) and the BANTER! UGH, the banter~ it was everyone I want in a romance (minus the annoying parts about Poppy writing emails in Sam's name without consulting him. I would kill someone for doing that, no matter how amazing they are.😀 Share my phone, fine. But don't you dare change/add shit without asking me.)
Overall, a fun read.
P.S. I also love that it was genuinely funny and wasn't just filled with cliche over used jokes. This was actually a funny romance.
