Title: I’ve
Got Your Number
Author: Sophie Kinsella
Review: This
is one of my favorite authors. I find
her funny, witty, and most of all her characters are realistic in my
world. Poppy is so much like some women
I’ve known that I have put a composite face to her in my mind. She is sweet and non-confrontational and gets
walked on a few times here and there, but she doesn’t want to rock the boat unnecessarily. I feel like that most of the time. Sam on the other hand is all business without
a lot of personality to match until you get to know him. I love the way the author describes his smile,
this real smile he shares only rarely. The two together are a delightful mix and the texting is a great addition for this day and age.
The crazy life that
Poppy has is her doing and she knows it.
She is a normal person thrown into the deep end of a life she never
asked for or expected(after only a few weeks of dating.) She finds herself in need and the needed item
appears and WOW…there goes her life with the twists and turns that make this
author so enjoyable to read. Chick-lit
at its finest- in my opinion.
Romance in this book
is great, not a lot of sex, just a few suggestions that it was had and enjoyed
by all that had it. I cried at the end…just
a happy sap I am at times. I love books like this...great characters, crazy situations, comedy and drama mixed in unequal yet complementary parts. This is a
cute, fast read well worth your time. Sophie Kinsella is an author well worth looking into. I look forward to her next and the next one
after that…it is always a joy to pick up her newest and lose myself for a few
hours.

Why I Read It:
I love this author and look forward to her newest books. I got this book at my local library.
Synopsis: I've lost it. The only thing in the
world I wasn't supposed to lose. My engagement ring. It's been in Magnus's
family for three generations. And now, the very same day his parents are
coming, I've lost it. The very same day. Do not hyperventilate, Poppy. Stay
positive!!
Poppy Wyatt has never
felt luckier. She is about to marry the ideal man, Magnus Tavish, but in one
afternoon her 'happy ever after' begins to fall apart. Not only has she lost
her engagement ring but in the panic that followed, she has now lost her phone.
As she paces shakily round the hotel foyer she spots an abandoned phone in a
bin. Finders keepers! Now she can leave a number for the hotel to contact her
when they find her ring. Perfect!
Well, perfect except
the phone's owner, businessman Sam Roxton doesn't agree. He wants his phone
back and doesn't appreciate Poppy reading all his messages and wading into his
personal life.
What ensues is a
hilarious and unpredictable turn of events as Poppy and Sam increasingly upend
each other's lives through emails and text messages. As Poppy juggles wedding
preparations, mysterious phone calls and hiding her left hand from Magnus and
his parents... she soon realises that she is in for the biggest surprise of her
life.
