I've Got Your Number

I’ve Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella

My rating:

4 stars—I really liked it.

My thoughts:

This was an adorable book. I read it in one day! The characters were cute and the story line was humorous.

Description from Goodreads.com:

“I’ve lost it. :( The only thing in the world I wasn’t supposed to lose. My engagement ring. It’s been in Magnus’s family for three generations. And now the very same day his parents are coming, I’ve lost it. The very same day! Do not hyperventilate, Poppy. Stay positive :) !!

Poppy Wyatt has never felt luckier. She is about to marry her ideal man, Magnus Tavish, but in one afternoon her “happily ever after” begins to fall apart. Not only has she lost her engagement ring in a hotel fire drill but in the panic that follows, her phone is stolen. As she paces shakily around the lobby, she spots an abandoned phone in a trash can. Finders keepers! Now she can leave a number for the hotel to contact her when they find her ring. Perfect!

Well, perfect except that the phone’s owner, businessman Sam Roxton, doesn’t agree. He wants his phone back and doesn’t appreciate Poppy reading his messages and wading into his personal life.

What ensues is a hilarious and unpredictable turn of events as Poppy and Sam increasingly upend each other’s lives through emails and text messages. As Poppy juggles wedding preparations, mysterious phone calls, and hiding her left hand from Magnus and his parents . . . she soon realizes that she is in for the biggest surprise of her life.”

The Wedding Girl

The Wedding Girl by Madeleine Wickham (aka Sophie Kinsella)

My rating:

3 stars—I liked it.

My Thoughts:

I’m not a huge Sophie Kinsella fan, but gave this one a try. It was a decent read. I felt that the characters lacked substance. Very airy and fluffy.

Description from Goodreads.com:

“At the age of eighteen, in that first golden Oxford summer, Milly was up for anything. Rupert and his American lover Allan were all part of her new, exciting life, and when Rupert suggested to her that she and Allan should get married, just so that Allan could stay in the country, Milly didn't hesitate, and to make it seem real she dressed up in cheap wedding finery and posed on the steps of the registry office for photographs.

Ten years later, Milly is a very different person. Engaged to Simon - who is wealthy, serious, and believes her to be perfect - she is facing the biggest and most elaborate wedding imaginable. Her mother has it planned to the finest detail, from the massive marquee to the sculpted ice swans filled with oysters. Her dreadful secret is locked away so securely she has almost persuaded herself that it doesn't exist - until, with only four days to go, her past catches up with her.

Suddenly, her carefully constructed world is about to crash in ruins around her. How can she tell Simon she's already married? How can she tell her mother? But as the crisis develops, more secrets are revealed than Milly could possibly have realised…”

Can You Keep a Secret

Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella

I haven't found a Sophie Kinsella book that really moved me.  I  would consider myself a bit of a shopaholic, but didn't engage in her "Shopaholic" series.

I recently tried “Can you Keep a Secret”. It's cute, but not something I would read again. The main character, Emma, is semi-funny, but not easy to like. And the ensuing romance is pretty unbelievable.

Looking for a quick, non-thinking read you might try this.
