*Review posted on Mundie Moms Grown-Up Book Reviews on 4/20/2017*
I adore Sophie Kinsella's stories as you already know, but for some reason, I hadn't read what is one of her highest rated stories until now. I know -- WHY WAS I WAITING? No idea, truly, except that I have that Busy Mama thing happening constantly in my life even as the mom of teens/tweens. So, I purchased the audiobook (aside: Sophie's audiobooks are so well produced!) and fell into a perfectly told story!

I think I mentioned in my last review here that I've been in a book-slump-to-end-all-book-slumps this year. It seems nothing can hold my interest, except audiobooks. So on the heels of reading Sophie's My Not So Perfect Life, I immediately downloaded another of her books. Oh, Poppy was a delight. I could completely relate to her losing her engagement ring and picking up an abandoned cell phone. I locked myself out of my apartment two weeks in a row before my wedding. I totally remember the scatterbrained, overloaded moments. Poppy has some other complications, though. Like, is her fiancé truly the right guy for her? What about the phone's real owner, Sam?

What ensues is a well-timed, well plotted, tension-filled romantic plot with so many giggle-filled moments. I've always loved a madcap, what-if story, and this one is extremely well executed. You will cheer for a certain thing to happen (not going to spoil it for you, but if you love your romances as much as I do, you already know what it is), and when it does, it's going to be sooooooo amazingly perfect.

One of the things that I loved about this story (and also, My Not So Perfect Life) is how Sophie weaves in the side characters as well as family. I don't think there is another author in this genre who does it so seamlessly. I'm that reader who always wants to know a little bit more about the characters, and here we get just that.

So as the weather warms up and your mind starts drifting towards summer and that inevitable beach/pool bag filled with romances, this is one that I would 5-star recommend. Don't do what I did and wait to read it!

I've Got Your Number A Novel Sophie Kinsella 9780385342063 Books Reviews

This was a cute premise. I really liked Sam and Poppy's story. It was super cute and sweet. But most everything else I couldn't really handle in this book...

I did not like her friends or fiancé. They didn't seem like real friends or supportive as they should be during this stressful time for her. Just superficial friends.

Also, this book (and few other British movies) have made me realize something about British humor that I don't like EVERYTHING going wrong in embarrassing or horrible ways. Everything a character does having these consequences that just make me cringe. Right when you read about them doing something, anything, you know it's going to backfire and I could usually guess what would go wrong. Ick, just don't like that. I'm okay with some things having these kind of consequences, but not everything where the character just can't get a break. It stresses me out.

The footnotes were probably really fun in the printed book, but a bit of a nuisance in the ebook. Fun to read, but harder to get to.

There was also more foul language than in other books I've read of Kinsella and I didn't like that either.

"My (not so) Perfect Life" is still my favorite from her. I think I'll keep trying her books, but this is the second I haven't really liked. I'm a little leery now.
I'm a long-time fan of Sophie Kinsella, having devoured all her previous novels. And, for some reason, it took me quite a long time to getting around to reading this. Needless to say, I was excited to dive in!

I struggled quite a bit with this book. It felt too much like the Shopaholic Series. The humor was cute but didn’t provoke any actual laugh out loud moments. The first half of the book was hard for me to stick with. And by the halfway point, I wondered if I should just give up on it. My husband had just read it and told me to give it a little more of a chance.

The second half of the book kept my interest piqued and I began to grow emotionally invested in the characters and their stories. There were a few twists and turns I didn’t expect, which was a nice surprise, as I thought I had pretty much figured out where everything was going. The ending was sweet, but, still, there was something missing from the overall feel of the story for me.

Additionally, I found the footnotes extremely difficult to read on the kindle. It kept bringing me out of the story, so after a few, I gave up.

All in all, it’s not a terrible book, but nowhere near as good as some of Sophie’s other books. With that said, this will not dissuade me from her future books, and, in fact, I’m looking forward to giving Finding Audrey a try.
So my books of choice tend to be cop and/or lawyer books where they’re trying to find and/or outwit a killer. After being on a role of reading some heavy duty material, I needed something lighter. Somehow I stumbled across this book on , and I’m so glad I did.

This book reminds of something along the lines of The Holiday or The Wedding Planner, and it’s completely refreshing for anyone who’s a fan of rom-com’s and characters with hearts of gold. Poppy makes me think of a girl who would be played by Isla Fisher, Renee Zellweger, or Amy Adams. She is completely lovable. And while she has some truly cringe-worthy blunders, all’s well that ends well.

Also, as a side note - I saw a review where someone mentioned not being able to read the footnotes on a . I read my books on my . All you need to do to see the footnotes in context is lightly press the number (don’t hold the number down like you would to see the dictionary or X-Ray).
