The Burnout

I just finished the Burnout by Sophie Kinsella and here is my review.

When Sasha reaches her breaking point, she does it in a spectacular fashion. She quits her job and flees from the office to try and join a Convent. An intervention is needed.

Her mother sends her to a hotel they all used to go to as a child for some much needed R and R.

When she arrives the hotel isn't what she remembers and it's mostly empty due to the fact it is majorly off-season there. Everything is going fine until she has to share the beach with a moody man named Finn.


When weird messages start showing up on the beach, the two of them start to get to know each other and inevitably talk about why they are both so burned out. The chemistry between them starts fizzle and they both remember there is more to life than work.

I am already biased. Sophie Kinsella could rewrite the phone book and I would be first in line to buy it. This book had all the charm and brilliance I know and love from her work. This book pulled me in from the first word and left me with a full heart.

I love Sasha! Her dedication to trying to sort herself out and her super sweet heart... Finn is that grumpy man you can't help but love. I adored how they came together to solve the mystery of the messages on the beach. It was so cute.

The book reminded me that sometimes you have to walk away from something to get some clarity and perspective to be able to come back stronger. Loved the plot and the descriptions of the hotel! It was well paced and I loved every second.

5 stars!!
