In The Bag is told from the POV of four people - Daisy, her daughter Coco, Andrew and his son Webb. As it can happen with identical bags, Webb picks up Coco's bag at the Paris Airport and Coco picks Webb's, obviously by mistake. This accident leads to 4 people finding love in the most unexpected way possible.
It was the cover that first attracted me to this book and after reading a sample chapter, I knew I'd like this.
This was such an adorable book! On one side we have Webb and Coco with their witty and totally charming e-mail exchange(s) that had me laughing the entire time I was reading the book.
On the other side there's Andrew and Daisy's really sweet story of two adults still looking for love. All four characters play a main role in the book and it's impossible not to root for them!
I did some googling and found out that this is Klise's first adult book and I have to say that she's certainly good at creating/writing about teenage characters because Webb and Coco kept me amused throughout the novel. I'd love to see Klise write some YA romance.
Light, funny and really cute, In The Bag is a perfect beach read. Chick Lit/Romance lovers will eat this up, especially if you're looking for a quick and happy read.

I really enjoyed this one! It was really light and cute and I finished it in 5 hours. It definitely left me wanting more and had me imagining what the characters did afterwords. Just a very nice book!
I really wish Kate Klise would stick with children's books, maybe venturing into YA. This was her first book for adults, and it deviated from her typical epistolary format, another disappointment, although much of the story was still told through e-mails and notes. Anyways, this was a simple, fluffy story, not at all a difficult read, great to just pass the time with nothing else to read, but by far not her best work. Looking forward to future epistolary novels from this author I hold in the highest regard.
Very cute although so lightweight I'm surprised the book didn't float away as I read it. Would make a good made-for-TV movie on the Disney Channel or ABC Family.
