I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella
4.0
I started this book yesterday so I could take a break from all the angst of "The Girl In The Train" AND OMG I FINISHED IN A NIGHT! I've never read anything about Sophie Kinsella before, and now I want to put all her books on my TBR list. Seriously. This was a fun, light, adorable romance novel and it was so engaging! I loved the writing, it was fun and descriptive in the right amount and Poppy is one of my favorite romance protagonists. I actually laughed out loud several times, this girl is crazy, but in a good way. The plot is simple, but I wasn't expecting anything complex anyway and it was all tied neatly in the end.
Poppy is outspoken, smart (not brilliant, but very sharp), FUNNY as hell and a little (ok, a lot) insecure. Also, she doesn't like confrontations much. Reading through her perspective, along with all those hilarious footnotes, was a joy and I think that's one of the reasons I devoured this book.
And Sam. At first he was kind of assholey, and stoic, but after I (and Poppy) got to know him better and we started dwelling into his life, I started to love him. He's so caring and funny, in a sarcastic way. What loved about the romance in this book was the fact that it was not instantaneous (especially because Poppy was engaged-to-get-married, so that would be awful). In fact, Poppy and Sam don't properly meet till at least page 70 - face to face, I mean. Their only interaction is by phone call and messages, and let me tell you, they don't exactly like each other at first and their banter are HILARIOUS. Their relationship progresses slowly but surely and we have cute moments and two OMG HOW ADORABLE moments.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The only reason it's not 5 stars it's because some of the scenes were a little bit WTF and we didn't got to see the proper kiss in the woods (WHY KINSELLA?I NEEDED A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THAT MOMENT).
4/5
