Author Spotlight: Sophie Kinsella

Sometimes you find an author whose works you enjoy so much that you automatically buy whatever their latest book is, as soon as it’s announced. In fact, you pre-order. I tried to pick my favorite Sophie Kinsella book, and pretty soon I had six! You might know this author for her Shopaholic or Undomestic Goddess series, but it’s her collection of stand alone novels that I can’t get enough of! I made myself pick two. If you haven’t checked out her latest yet, run, don’t walk to get them. Both of these books pair well with a towel or plane flight in paperback form, but their audiobooks are sooo great, too. Fiona Hardingham reads both, but always does an excellent job of portraying a variety of characters with a multitude of personalities and accents. You’ll think your sweetest, most optimistic best friend is telling you about her bizarre troubles, only laughing out loud won’t hurt her feelings.

Book Review: My (Not So) Perfect Life

My (Not So) Perfect Life features Katie Brenner, a young professional struggling to live an Instagram-worthy life while paying expensive London rent with her entry-level paycheck. Her incredible flatmates feel like people I’ve met, and her struggle to reconcile her country upbringing with her big city ambitions is very relatable. Also in the mix is her boss, Demeter, a glamorous force of nature in the marketing world with a perfect family, who ruins Katie’s life in the most casual, careless way possible. ​If you've ever caught yourself comparing your friends' Instagram posts to your real life, or struggled to get started in a professional role, this book will feel so real. Bonus: if you've ever been curious about glamping, you'll get a fun inside peek into what that's all about.

Book Review: Surprise Me

​In Surprise Me, a mandatory insurance physical confronts Sylvie and Dan, her husband of ten years, with the knowledge that they will spend another 68 years together- and they’re shocked to find the prospect terrifying! In an effort to keep growing together, they try to find ways to preserve the element of surprise in their marriage. It gradually becomes clear that there are still some surprises lurking in their marriage, and that isn't necessarily a good thing. Even as Sylvie grows desperate to keep Dan close, he becomes increasingly distant and irritable. This book includes scandal, family tragedy, secret gardens, an eccentric boss, unappealing international breakfasts, and twin mom realities.
