My Thoughts
Let me start off by saying that I am a huge Sophie Kinsella fan, and have been for many many year. Hell I even enjoy reading Kinsella books as Madeleine Wickham. But this, this was just downright awful. I've read every book of her's (and Wickham's) and even own every single one of them...except Wedding Night. I made the mistake of listening to this on Audio and the narration was atrocious, which made it an even worse experience.
Where did Kinsella go wrong with this book? It wasn't just the beginning or the middle or the end...it was the whole thing! Every character drove me nuts and I don't even know how I managed to finish it, but I did. It lacked the usual wit and endearing parts of the characters we all hate in the beginning then fall in love with in the end. Also, it could have easily been 100-150 pages shorter.
Is Sophie Kinsella slipping or am I just outgrowing her novels?
My Rating: ««
The reviews made here are my personal opinion. I’m not being paid to review any of these books. I am by no means a professional book reviewer or editor. I do this for the love of books.
