A review by kittycat2302
Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella
4.0
When I started reading this, I was initially not impressed- Lara was not appealing, it felt like it wasn't going to be anything new/different, and I just generally was guessing it'd end up with 2 or MAYBE 3 stars. Next thing I know there is a ghost in the mix, and I was incredibly confused, and initially thinking "Sophie Kinsella, WHAT are you doing???"
I'm glad I kept reading. In the end, this is a fun, creative, enjoyable story. Is it great high art? Probably not. Is it supposed to be? Probably not! I ended up really liking all the characters, and I especially loved that while romance has its place here, the story is really about the relationship between two very different women, and about the process of one woman realizing her power in the world. I expect Kinsella to write a fun story and a likable heroine- after all, Becky Bloomwood is one of my faves!- but I didn't expect something with a tinge of fantasy to it done well.
It's a fluffy read, but a darn good one.
