REVIEW :

Sophie Kinsella did it again. I definitely liked this book.

It's Sophie Kinsella usual writing style. Simple, fun & captivating.

The plot? It's the usual too. The drama, the chaos, the problems then, the mystery and the hunt. And Finally, the happy ending. (and don't forget the man too)

She still manages to throw a few surprises in the book.

Only thing I hated is that it's the same thing. Nothing different or special. It's the same usual Sophie Kinsella style. It's getting a little boring, ain't it?

Other than that, this book is pretty top notch.

If you just want some entertaining story that will distract you and let you have fun, this is definitely the book!
Easy, fun and yet insightful (a little)

I still love Sophie Kinsella but I'm wondering, is this all she can come up with?

Anyhow, this is still a good read.

I rate it 7 out of 10. Pretty good and nice but not exactly the best thing on earth.
