GIVEAWAY: Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella

by


Happy Saturday everyone! I’m going to offer up my extremely gently read hardcover copy of Twenties Girl to one lucky winner! I just finished it the other day and I really enjoyed it – I’m such a Kinsella fan. lol. You can see my review here if you like. Otherwise, here is a bit about the book from Random House…

Lara Lington has always had an overactive imagination, but suddenly that imagination seems to be in overdrive. Normal professional twenty-something young women don’t get visited by ghosts. Or do they?

When the spirit of Lara’s great-aunt Sadie–a feisty, demanding girl with firm ideas about fashion, love, and the right way to dance–mysteriously appears, she has one last request: Lara must find a missing necklace that had been in Sadie’s possession for more than seventy-five years, and Sadie cannot rest without it. Lara, on the other hand, has a number of ongoing distractions. Her best friend and business partner has run off to Goa, her start-up company is floundering, and she’s just been dumped by the “perfect” man.

Sadie, however, could care less.

Lara and Sadie make a hilarious sparring duo, and at first it seems as though they have nothing in common. But as the mission to find Sadie’s necklace leads to intrigue and a new romance for Lara, these very different “twenties” girls learn some surprising truths from each other along the way. Written with all the irrepressible charm and humor that have made Sophie Kinsella’s books beloved by millions, Twenties Girl is also a deeply moving testament to the transcendent bonds of friendship and family.

  3. Ooh can I be first to enter. I have only read one other Sophie Kinsella which was The Undomestic Goddess, which I really enjoyed. I liked the sound of this as you said it was a ghost story. Always a sucker for one of those. Already a dedicated follower.

  124. Hi Dar
    I'm the biggest fan of Sophie's books! I've read and re-read all her shopaholic books (in the bus to and from work! I think lots of fellow passengers may have thought me crazy, trying hard not to laugh out loud at the humor in her books! :-)) I have also spread the shopaholic craze to colleagues who are also now fans here in Colombo, Sri Lanka. So we would love a copy of the new one!. thanks so much for giving us the chance.

  210. Hi!
    I just finished this book and highly recommend it! I've read all the shopaholic books and this character is as enjoyable.

    I also suggest you read some of the other books under Sophie Kinsella's actual name:
    Madeiline Wickham. The books are not as humorous but are enjoyable.

  212. I would really love to read one of her book 🙂
