I LOVE Sophie Kinsella, I have enjoyed all of her books and laugh at each one I read.
I was so eager to get my hands on this new novel however I felt a bit anxious as I had read mixed reviews with some negative reaction to the use of footnotes.
Well I got the book on Friday and finished it on Saturday, like every other Sophie Kinsella novel I was gripped and couldn't wait to pick it up again when I had to stop reading for a while...(to cook tea for my children for instance.....not that I begrudge them their tea - but really, when I am in the middle of a good book!!?)
I really liked the character Poppy, she was funny, dizzy but intelligent with a high emotional quotient and she doesn't give up. I thought the story line was really clever, the use of text conversations were great fun and I really liked the addition of footnotes.....they were funny and fitted in with the story very astutely.
I loved it, I laughed out loud several times and read the whole book smiling - now that is worth paying for!

Poppy Wyatt is a 29 year old intelligent girl with a respected career and a clutch of close girlfriends. Catapaulted into a high-profile relationship with the erudite son, (Magnus), of an academic family, Poppy finds herself humiliated by the intellectual snobbery.The circumstances she finds herself in reveal her wits and guile to overcome her predicament. The synopsis of a lost engagement ring,( a family heirloom), a lost mobile phone, the finding of another in a litter bin (Sam enters the scene), provide Sophie Kinsella with a wealth of material for a tale full of humour, wit and observation of human nature. The scrabble game is fantastic.
This is a frenetic front to back read. I would have slowed it down if possible(purely for personal enjoyment reasons), but the plot is so fast-paced. Some may say there is a predictability but the acutely descriptive portrayal of life's dilemmas makes the whole flow. There are sharp corners taken with a tale and further character development around each one. The dialogue is so full of momentum. It is a cleverly crafted novel full of enterprise and laughter with all expected from the writer. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommended. I read the Kindle edition. I did not feel the footnotes a problem. In fact found them an addition to the book's character at the end of the chapters.
No spoilers. None needed. The narrative unravels without further detail.

I absolutely loved this book and would now include it as one of my all time favourites. As some other reviewers have said the characters are possibly a bit similar to those in shopaholic but for some reason I liked this more. I think it was the use of text and email that made it seem like a more up to date and realistic relationship between the main characters. There are footnotes dotted around and as I was reading on a kindle I found it a bit difficult to start with but soon got in to the hang of it. They actually were some of the funniest and most revealing parts of the book. One note of caution, I found it laugh out loud funny which is not good when you're on a busy train.

Bit disappointed
I loved the original sk books but this one was...boring and trivial. The plot was weak and the characters boring, so not worth the £10 price. Read more

Not worth buying at hardback prices
Really regret spending 13.99 buying the big paperback at the airport - 3.99 at the supermarket would have been better value. Read more

Irritating
As a huge fan of SK I could not wait to get this. But found it predictable dribble. So far fetched and no longer amusing just hugely irritating and quite frankly stupid. Read more
