I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella
4.0
This was a very entertaining read. This got me laughing really hard-I even have my favorite parts/scenes. I love their exchanges; emails, texts, and calls. I love LOVE the ending-very sweet and thoughtful and perfect. :D
The characters are quite a match. I find myself hooked during their interactions because there's no boring moment with those two. Poppy is a blast! She is so much fun to read. Her clumsiness, impulsiveness, and wit is a lethal combo for funny and embarrassing situations. She is extremely nice to the extent of being a pushover but she also got that angst from time to time.
Sam is a very curt and a little cold personality but at the same time, caring and thoughtful. He's a great listener and a friend you would want to have (especially during scrabble times). A loyal and trustworthy character who fights for what he thinks is right.
Magnus, magnus, magnus. *sigh* I do NOT like him at all. Maybe I liked him a little when he fought for Poppy but I just can't take how self-absorbed he is. I don't understand why Poppy would want to marry him or even be his fiancee because he doesn't even have time for her unless he wants to have sex. But conversations? He has a better relationship with his profession. And his parents. Oh dear. They're too uptight for my liking, at first that is. Oh, and Analyse (or however her name's spelled), WTF? I don't know if she's a friend or a foe. I think that's even worse than a blatant enemy.
Anyway, I enjoyed this book and I love how it shows a very modern love story. Yes, I know, how can you fall in love with someone you barely know? Not to mention that your best conversations are via mobile phone. But, as others say, do not knock it unless you've tried it.
Sometimes, you find a confidant in someone you least expected. Someone you don't talk to; A neighbor, an acquaintance, a co-worker, a school mate, even a stranger. You pour your heart out to them knowing that everything can go back to normal after. Sometimes they remain a stranger, other times, they become more. But the thing is, in that moment of your life, you had willing ears to rant to and shoulders to cry on from someone who will never judge you for your previous fuck ups.
