 Just another funny book from Sophie Kinsella I could not put this book down, I had to finish it. I really have enjoyed all Kinsella's books. Hope she will be writing another one soon.  Not her best work I've read all Kinsella's other books (started with Shopaholic series) and this one just didn't seem all THAT original. The whole time I kept thinking 13 Going On 30 (except obviously amnesia not wishing dust). I also feel like she used the F word a lot just to use it, not really necessary. I still did read it in three days so I guess it wasn't awful, just not really great and very predictable. Good But Not Great Kinsella There is a book by Agatha Christie titled Why Didn't They Ask Evans? My main thought as I finished this book was why didn't Lexi confide in Fi, her best friend since childhood. If she had, things would undoubtedly have been better for her. Or at least her other old friends might have understood. . . I have to agree with Cordelia that I was disappointed in Lexi for having an affair. She seemed a much more decent type than that. I don't get any sense of characters being churchgoers at all, but surely they've heard of the commandment Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery. Falling in love with Jon is understandable, given her total incompatability with Eric. Having an affair is not. ChicBookFiend made a good point when she said that this book is similar to 13 Going on 30. Both heroines have discovered that they have become beautiful and successful, but they seem to have turned into bitches and try to learn how it happened. I think it's nicely done in this book. And, as it turns out, the reason is a totally logical one. This was a nice enjoyable read, and I look forward to sharing it with my friends. However, I'm looking forward to the Shopaholic movie (and I think Isla Fisher will make a great Becky, although I'd have loved to see Christian Bale as Luke) and hopefully another Shopaholic book (Shopaholic & Daughter perhaps?) soon.  An easy read with a cute & funny storyline I love Sophie Kinsella and have read all of her books and enjoyed every one of them! This book is no exception. I finished it only a couple of days. I would recommend this book to any fan of Sophie Kinsella! I wish she could come out with books as fast I read through them. :o) | |||||||||||||
