Meet Socks. He’s my company in the morning and loves nothing more than trying to poke his head into my cereal bowl.
Sophie Kinsella is like many authors. She has set the bar high with the Shopaholic series and unfortunately since then I don’t think her books have lived up to expectations.
The novel focuses on Lottie who has her world turned upside down when a proposal goes wrong and her sister Fliss who must stop Lottie’s wedding at all costs.
Lottie is expecting partner Richard to propose, but when he doesn’t she runs back to Greece with an old lover to live as husband and wife. Her husband Ben is a disgustingly wealthy flake who realises in the end he’s married the wrong girl.
Older sister Fliss is currently going through a divorce which makes her incredibly bitter but when she meets Ben’s best friend Lorcan she realises life isn’t so bad after all.
This book is full of warm and funny moments that are almost feasible between family members, letd face it we’re a capable of silly things when family are concerned. What let’s it down? It’s all predictable.
A good easy read but yet again it’s not quite hit the mark I expect from Kinsella.
