During an emergency evacuation, Poppy Wyatt loses her engagement ring and gets her phone stolen right out of her hand! As luck would have it, she finds a used phone in the garbage and all kinds of new things begin to pop up into her life.
I think the best adjective for this book would be cute. Poppy was a spunky character and very reminiscent of Becky Bloomwood from The Shopaholic Series. I prefer the character of Becky, but Poppy was fun, too. The two main male characters were both disappointing. If they had been spruced up a bit I may have enjoyed it more. Other than that, the length was a bit too long, and the "footnotes" didn't add much flavor, but it was still another good diversion while doing chores.
I need a cute book from time to time so I'll have to look for this one.
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion ~ As long as you are not expecting too much, you'll enjoy it. :)
DeleteI have yet to read one of Kinsella's novels. They've never appealed to me and I'm not sure a "cute" novel is in my future. :)
ReplyDeleteLes ~ I actually really enjoy her Shopaholic series as pure frivolous, fun reads, which is so not like me. However, I like the fact that she makes me grin and shake my head. :p I wouldn't choose this one as an introduction though, if the mood ever struck you.
DeleteI have her first Shopaholic book but have yet to read it! I'm sure it will be a fun read too! I don't mind cute...sometimes they fit my mood perfectly!
ReplyDeleteStaci ~ You've got to read the first Shopoholic book! Her ridiculous logic is very humorous to me. Actually, I listened to most, if not all of that series, too. Listen to it, Staci. You'll laugh. :)
DeleteI wasn't a huge fan of Becky but Poppy could be more my style.
ReplyDeleteStacybuckeye ~ Sounds like she may be!
