Thank you to NetGalley, The Dial Press, & Penguin Random House for the opportunity to read and review this book before it's publication date! This in no way affected my review, opinions are my own.

Ahhhh, Sophie Kinsella. Love it or hate it, there’s no in between (for me). This wasn’t one of my more recent favs (see: Party Crasher, which I LOVED), but I think for some of her die hard fans it’ll be just fine.
A couple notes:
The first 10% is classic Kinsella and I loved that
There’s a tiny bit of instalove, meh
A big part of the subplot is just that … sub(par)
This would make a fantastic movie but novelization didn’t hit right
If this gets made into a movie I will watch it for Herbert alone and that is not a lie

This book was so good! I really loved all of the characters. They were all so quirky and lovable and realistic. Sasha was an awesome FMC and I thought she was super relatable. There were some parts of this book that made me laugh out loud, which is not something that I do often when I’m reading. Sasha’s self-improvement journey was lovely, and I loved the depictions of father daughter relationships. Adding in some romance and a dash of mystery made this a super enjoyable and comforting read.
Thank you so much to Random House Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC! The Burnout is out on Tuesday October 10th!
