High school me used to live and breathe Sophie Kinsella, re-reading the Shopaholic series and all her other chick lit novels in gulps. I still love Kinsella, and still think of her as the queen of chick-lit, but this book was really kind of meh for me. I mean, I did love the whole running a glamping site shenanigan, and also the love between the main character and her parents, but everything else seemed like a drag to get through. I found the relationship with Demetri, the boss from hell, turned around too quickly to be entirely plausible. Also, the love story is actually quite horrid, with the love interest just generally being a terrible person. I do love Kinsella books with a passion though, and the writing is quite nice, just really wanted a bit more!

Katie Brenner has the perfect life...or so it seems by her Instagram account. A fun, fast, satisfying read by Sophie Kinsella. Curl up with it today!

The book was ~very~ slow till about halfway through and then it was a complete page turner! Overall, a solid lighthearted read.

Sophie Kinsella é sempre minha autora de escolha quando preciso de um livro, leve, com humor inteligente e que me faça chorar de rir. Essa talvez seja a quarta ou quinta vez que releio esse livro e ele me deu, mais uma vez, exatamente o que precisava. Essa história é fluída, traz questionamentos interessante em parecer pretensiosa, tem um leve drama que traz profundidade mas não deixa a narrativa pesada e é acima de tudo, muito engraçada. Se tem uma coisa que ler um livro da Sophie Kinsella é garantido de fazer é: dar alta gargalhadas. Eu amo que pude crescer lendo esse tipo de história e elas ainda são tão boas e divertidas quanto na minha memória.

This was a nice, easy read that didn't require a lot of thought. Perfect for my busy, stressful life right now.

I went into this blind and had a bit of a rough start. The characters were all a bit frustrating, and I was expecting more romance, but as the characters grew I realized that it was actually really enjoyable as a piece of women’s fiction. I appreciated how the story changed which characters I empathized with. There were some very funny parts as well as some pretty relatable ones too. I don’t regret it and will continue to explore more from this author.

Eigen boekenkast.
Leest vlot en is een leuk boek om even 'ernaast' te lewen. Een fijn tussendoortje, als je wil. Maar het is geen hoogvlieger en het was te langdradig.

Easy, fun read. Not outstanding, but entertaining plot line.
