Attain Twenties Girl Scripted By Sophie Kinsella Conveyed As Booklet

you land the right one, chicklits can be so much fun!
I know I claim to hate most of Kinsella's frivolous protagonists cough Becky cough but I can't deny that I've had an amazing time reading her books.
So my expectations going into this book were mindless hilarity and a half annoyinghalf entertaining heroine, But Lara and Sadie were just sooo epic!
The camaraderie between these two twenties girls was everything, Page after page, they gave me belly aching laughs and such a warm feeling, And surprisingly, I enjoyed both the love stories even if the main focus wasn't on romance, The mystery of Sadie's past was pretty intriguing too,
The character development was unbelievable considering it's ayear old ghost and given that Kinsella's heroines are not particularly famous for this.
Even Lara toughened up and stopped letting people walk over her, The way these two girls brought out the best in each other was a delight to read,
I'd recommend this book to pretty much anyone looking for a good time, Lara is having some major life issues currently including, her ex boyfriend, a job that she isnt too sure about and now a dead aunt who might be haunting her.
Lara is just trying to keep her imagination under control and get her life on track, but maybe her dead aunt Sadie is just what she needs to get everything in line.


The author does a great job creating Laras personality, We can see right from the beginning that Lara is a little stressed and has a lot going on, but is working hard on putting up a good front.
Lara doesnt want to hurt anyones feelings or trouble anyone, Lara grew on me when I was reading the book and I ended up rooting for her the whole time to get everything in order.
Lara did get a little stuck on the exboyfriend issue, but it does end up working on in the book.


The story follows Lara as she is in search of her greataunt Sadies necklace, Lara is somewhat looking for the necklace while trying to keep going with her career, I loved the banter that occurred between Lara and Sadie during the book, The banter alone would keep me listening to the book, I loved the relationship that developed between the two of them and how much that Lara could learn about Sadies life.
Sadie was an amazing second character since she was a ghost stuck in the past it was an interesting view on life.
I enjoyed how it brought the Twenties Girl idea to life through Sadie,

The story moves along at a nice pace and is easy to follow along, I loved how the story unfolded and it kept my attention most of the time, The story gets busier towards the end, but overall a great pace,

My major complaint with the book would have been the romance, I have read several Sophie Kinsella books and enjoyed the romance portion of those books, The romance in this book felt slightly as an afterthought in this book, The book is focused mainly on Lara and getting her life back together and trying to figure out what she wants out of life.
I did enjoy the romance at times and felt it was cute, but at other times I felt it could have been almost a second book.


I would suggest this as a nighttime read, There were a lot of parts where I felt that the book could be put down and picked back up.
The book kept my attention while listening to it, but I was able to take some breaks and not feel like I missed anything.
Liked some parts of the story, the main characters though were seriously awful, they were both so irritating, Lara was an obsessed, deluded, idiotic stalker, She spent so much time stalking her ex boyfriend and coming up with silly reasons about why he dumped her, she was beyond daft when it came to him.
Worst of all was when she used Sadie to brainwash him into dating her again, she was demented and behaved like a total buffoon in most aspects of her life.
I suppose, she was better towards the end as she finally managed to gain some common sense and a backbone.
She was actually quite likeable when she stood up to her uncle and business partner, otherwise she was mostly a flailing mess.


Then there was bloody Sadie, she was a selfish, spoilt, whiny brat, All she did was scream and shout, and if things didn't go her way she'd throw a massive fit and then pout for ages.
Like Lara though she did become more tolerable at the end, but that was mainly down to everything finally going her way rather than actual character development.


The secondary characters were much better than Sadie and Lara, they were far more entertaining and likeable,

Liked that the romance was only ever really a side story, and there was quite a bit of focus on Lara's work and family life, as well as all her trying to help Sadie with the missing necklace and whatnot.

I really, really loved this one! It was overthetop in an absolutely perfect, hilarious way that made reading it so much fun.
I was cheering for Lara the whole time and I loved her interactions

with Sadie, ALSO ED HARRISON ltltltSophie Kinsella's books are comfort reading for me, But despite the fact I have a good time reading them, I had some reservations about this one because the story line involves a ghost.
However, even though that aspect is a bit of a departure from her previous books, this one still had the fun and charming elements I have come to expect in her novels.


Lara Lington is attending the funeral for her great aunt Sadie who she hardly knew, when a much younger Sadie appears in ghost form.
Lara is the only one who can see her, and Sadie demands Lara help find a necklace that is dear to her so she will be able to rest in peace.
While the pair don't seem to have much in common, they might just learn something from one another,

Even though the story was a bit out there, I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it.
Lara was an easy character to root for as she's having a hard time getting over a breakup and the business she started with a friend is in serious trouble of folding.
Sadie had a lot of spirit and it was fun watching the two interact, While there are definitely some crazy moments, everything just comes together really well, Definitely recommend if you have enjoyed Sophie Kinsella's other books, This is meaning about an Aunt that comes back and only one person can see and hear her ghost, I feel this book shows how important family history and you should teach the older people in your family good.
I loved this book so much, This book is one of my favorite books, sitelink

I'm doing an audit of my bookshelves as part of my New Year's Resolution and trying to read and get rid of some of my physical copies.
TWENTIES GIRL is actually a reread, I read it for the first time when I was pretty young and I believe I gave it five because somehow it ended up in my "keepers" box.
I wanted to give it a reread and see if I felt the same way about it now as I did then and.
. . sadly I did not. It was still a good read but couldn't quite hold up to the test of time,



Sophie Kinsella does this thing I don't really like where she makes all of her heroines pathological liars.
It's supposed to be cute and quirky but instead all it does is make her heroines look like little psychopaths.
SHOPAHOLIC, for me, was the worst, as it portrayed someone with a very serious and concerning problem as lighthearted and fun.
For years, SHOPAHOLIC put me off Kinsella because of how much I hated that heroine, That trope is present in TWENTIES GIRL as well, albeit to a slightly lesser extent and to be honest, it makes a little more sense in TWENTIES because the premise is so ridiculous.




When Lara goes to the funeral of her great aunt Sadie, whom she never met, it's a bit underwhelming.
Nobody's there, there's no flowers or food or music, Everyone feels very begrudging about their wasted time, including Lara's rich uncle, a social media influencercumcoffee mogul who lords his wealth over the rest of the family.
Just before the cremation, however, Lara is haunted by a vision of Sadie as a girl in her twenties, who screams at her to stop the ceremony because SHE NEEDS HER NECKLACE, and after lots of screaming and heckling, Lara does the only thing she can think of: lies to everyone that there's been a murder and that Sadie's nursing home must have been responsible.




With Sadie watching her every move, Lara halfheartedly does a search for the necklace, and the ghostly hijinks result in various shenanigans like mindraping her exboyfriend into going out with her again and telling her he's still in love with her, sneaking into an office building and asking out a man that Sadie fancies looks like Rudolph Valentino, and going to a thrift store and buying used flapper clothes and cringes makeup for a fancy dinner date.
None of this stuff aged very well and I found Lara a very hard heroine to like for most of the book and Sadie was just as bad.
But even with the weird ghost stuff, I liked the mystery of the necklace and the romcom elements and I found myself thinking that this would make a nice movie.
It also has a lovely ending that sort of made me tear up,



So I'd say that TWENTIES GIRL is an okay read, Not really Kinsella's best but not her worst either, and Lara grows from her experience and learns how to be a better person and to let people make their own choices while living life on their terms.
