OMG!
This book is ultra fantastic! I mean, I know Sophie Kinsella writes
well and most (if not all) of her books are bestsellers! But this one
has got to be the most fun and most exciting of all! I bought this book
several months ago but it was only last long weekend that I got the
chance to read it from start to finish. Every chance I got, I was
reading Twenties Girl. From the airport, to the bus, to the boat, while
sunbathing by the beach, while enjoying the breeze of a starry, starry
night... while I was having breakfast and dinner, while Peter was
watching Glee in our hotel room... I was so into it!
Twenties
Girl is about Lara Lington, a twenty-something girl who has a very
overactive imagination. More so, when her dead 105 year old great aunt,
Sadie Lancaster, started visiting her and began taking hold of her
life. It was a disaster of course but slowly, things have been
unfolding in a way that I did not expect. It's just filled with one
exciting storyline after another! Seriously, where does Sophie Kinsella
get all her ideas?! Makes me wanna write a fantastic novel too. But how
and where do I start? Anyway, I digress...
You
might say that Lara Lington has the quirks of a typical chic lit
character --- fun, paranoid, obsessive, passionate, independent, etc.
But she's more than that. In a way, I related to her especially with her
being apathetic about her family and her family's history. I mean
seriously, who likes attending funerals?! When my fave granny died last
year, I did not even go. But in the end, Lara was able to conquer it
all with flying colors! How I wish I could turn back time. I should've
gone to my granny's funeral after all.
Anyway,
this book has all the elements you will ever need in a chic lit ---
love, frustration, challenges, surprises... I thought the list would go
endless. For a 435 page book, it was pretty endless, but in a good, "Oh
no I'm almost done" kind of way once you're reaching the end.
Do read it!
