This book! I was away for a week and left my Kobo behind in favour of paperback novels. I was therefore, unable to read this the week I was away. I picked it up yesterday after the hiatus and fell quickly right back into the story like I hadn't left it.
This book was great. I loved that it focused more on Katie's growth as a woman and character instead of the romance like many of Kinsella's other works. That being said, the romance in it was cute and fun, and semi rushed in the end of the novel. And because of that, it left me wanting a little more. (ie: what happens to them, are they happy, etc.)
Overall, I did really like this book, and I would recommend it for sure.

Fantastic narration
I found this to be an enjoyable fun light read with many laugh out loud moments. Easy to relate to story and a wonderful cast of side characters. Predictable storyline sure, but filled with a lot of little surprising moments. Sophia Kinsella, never fails to leave me with a smile on my face after finishing one of her books.
Katie the main character is a working woman at the bottom of the ladder in a difficult job situation. She has a nightmare boss, low pay and feels the need to lie to all about her life. She was born and raised in the country but works hard to not be that country girl. She wants to be a London Girl, chic and entertaining. Everything goes wrong, from her lovely flat, to her job and then the mud starts flying.

This was pretty good. It didn't have that awkward cringe moment, where the main female character does something so stupid and dofusey, that you as the reader are forced to avert your eyes. I like being able to respect the lead.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. For me, Sophie Kinsella is an auto-buy author. I thought this one reminded me a lot of Undomestic Goddess by her. I do feel as though the ending was rushed. It is a pet peeve of mine when books are long with rushed endings.
