The Undomestic Goddess

Reviewed by Kuro-hime


SYNOPSIS.
Samantha Sweeting-a high-powered lawyer in London, working for one of the best law firms, Carter Spink. Truly a workaholic, her goal in her career is to be a partner in Carter Spink.

Life seems to be running along just fine until she makes a terrible mistake. Thrown head first into the world of home making- A Cambridge educated lawyer mistaken for a house keeper~!! With romance throwed into the concoction can Samantha Sweetings learn that theres more to life than just datelines, meetings and contracts. Oh and did I mention, she actually knows nothing about home making.

Character development
You can actually see the changes in her thoughts and movement. The author paced the story well and she could really give a sudden twist which you wouldn't expect. As for the romance between Samantha and Nathaniel, you can see it grow and you laugh at their awkward situation. And at the end of the story, you really want them to be together... This book is definitely one of my favourites and I highly recommend it to everyone. It's not corny, it's not boring. Instead, it's captivating, unique and addictive!

Writing Style
Sophie Kinsella knows how to make it dramatic, real and yet funny. The way she writes is very interesting and it makes you connect with the main character emotions and story plot. Although, this book is written in a first point of view, we do not miss out on the story plot.

Review
Honestly, I like this story. I liked the way Sophie Kinsella wrote it. It has a special charm. Somehow, you can relate with the characters. Normally, I don't even read this kind of genre but this book was so interesting and captivating that it was hard to put it down.
No matter how good the plot is, I'm slightly disappointed with the ending. Sophie Kinsella could have given us a little more description to her new life when she turned down the partnership offer. I give this book 4 stars. I'll be looking forward to reading Sophie Kinsella next work.

You should give the book a try!
