Review: My Not So Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ❃ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Now she returns with all of the wit, warmth, and wisdom that are the hallmarks of her bestsellers to spin this fresh, modern story about presenting the perfect life when the reality is far from the image. Sophie Kinsella is celebrated for her vibrant, relatable characters and her great storytelling gifts.
Secrets are spilled and relationships rejiggered, and as the stakes for Katie’s future get higher, she must question her own assumptions about what makes for a truly meaningful life. London has never seemed so far away-until Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest. Shattered but determined to stay positive, Katie retreats to her family’s farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business. Then, just as she’s finding her feet-not to mention a possible new romance-the worst happens. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she’s desperate to make her dad proud. The final, demeaning straw comes when Demeter makes Katie dye her roots in the office. Katie’s life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle-from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she’s trying to negotiate. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Part love story, part workplace dramedy, part witty critique of the false judgments we make in a social-media-obsessed world, this is New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella’s most timely and sharply observed novel yet.Įverywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe.
