Twenties Girl - Book Review

By
The ninth book I read for 24 books in 2017 was Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella.


Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella
Paperback: 448 pages  Publisher: Dial Press Trade Paperback; Reprint Edition (March 9, 2010)

Lara Lington is struggling. She's just been dumped by her boyfriend with no real explanation and she's recently gone into business with a close friend, who has since disappeared on an open ended holiday, leaving her in the lurch. With a failing business and a broken heart, she has to attend a funeral with her worried parents for her great aunt Sadie who nobody in the family really knew but lived to be 105.  During the funeral she meets and eventually gets stuck with Sadie's ghost, who needs her help, finding a necklace she owned.

While Sadie truly needs Lara's help, soon we find that Lara needed Sadie's help too. The two make a great duo, even if nobody else ever learns that Sadie is still there and hasn't moved on to the afterlife.

I have to be honest, this was the book I was look forward to reading the least. I'm sorry, I'm just not into ghost stories. At least, not if they aren't scary. I was proved wrong by this book though, as it may in fact be my favorite of all of the Sophie Kinsella books and I've been singing her praises all year. I literally laughed out loud, and I full on ugly cried, with tears, snot, and loud sobbing.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

By
Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
