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
