Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella
Lara just broke up with her boyfriend and she’s having a rough time with the new company she and her best friend just started. And she has the ghost of her great-aunt Sadie bugging her to find some silly necklace so she can rest in peace. This is typical chick lit so you know the story. The girl either has no boyfriend or has a crappy one. Ditto for the job. By the end, she has a great new boyfriend and a great new job. This story line could get old but with so many different ways of getting from A to B, it doesn’t, at least not to me. And Kinsella is better at it than most.
The characters in Twenties Girl are lovable (and hateful) as always, especially Sadie, the ghost. Sadie adds a whole new twist to the story. And she’s quite the character. Fun-loving to a fault, extremely demanding and used to getting her own way, which leads to some interesting and funny circumstances.
If you like chick lit, this is one you can’t miss!
