Twenties Girl - Book Review

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.

Happy Homemaker Monday

As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am::: Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving! What to fix. I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it. On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too. I love the story behind the video. The people in it are NOT actors. The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance. Amazing. And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014. If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about. When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees. I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold. It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees. When I was younger it was the parking lot. There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to. We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences. My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought. We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree. As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot. We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...

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

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...
