Poppy Wyatt is one of the most realistic characters I have ever encountered in a story. She's sweet, sassy, insecure, a little too trusting, and cares way too much what other people think. She has some serious flaws, like we all do, and her attempts to make sure everyone likes her reminded me way too much of me.
This book was sweet and well-written. It felt realistic. It wasn't over the top. The author wasn't doing too much and it was sincere. Not many books are like this nowadays. I liked the change. I love this book! Thank you.
Sophie Kinsella's novels have always been my go-to for a light and funny read, her MC always cracks me up but this time I don't really like the MC and the technicality with Sam's company bores me a little, so I'm changing my rating to 3.5 stars
Just a quick and fun read, but Poppy is an idiot.
Don't take the story too serious and you'll enjoy reading it.

died a little at the cuteness but the final act seems a little bit mushy for my taste. overall, great romcom book!!
This was funny, but the romance could have been better. I suppose the romantic tension was definitely there most of the time, but it felt a bit off. Don’t get me wrong though, it was entertaining, definitely, but it didn’t draw me in entirely. I feel like every feeling someone had or was supposed to have wasn’t worked out properly, and as a result it just didn’t have a whole lot of meaning to me, the reader.
I don’t want to be too critical though, because I surely did enjoy reading this book a lot. I guess I was just hoping for a little more swooning, that sort of thing.
A big plus, however, was the fact that I liked both the female lead as well as the male lead. Poppy is a bit ditzy and quirky, but lovable and often extremely humorous. Sam is a bit more serious, but surely also has a heart of gold. They’re opposites (at first glance), but turn out to actually really be quite compatible. Their eventual ‘get together’ subsequently didn’t seem random or out of the blue: You can understand why they’d fall for one another.
The underlying subplot, i.e. the plot involving corruption and other business drama, was decent. I’m not going to say I was overly invested in it or anything, but it wasn’t boring either. It kept the romantic plot going without trying to take over the spotlight. The subplot handled its purpose well, I’d say.
