Twenties Girl

I have read all of Sophie Kinsella's books and have always found them good fun light reading and very enjoyable. She has had great success with the Shopaholic series but the subsequent books she's written have also been engaging and so I couldn't wait to delve into Twenties Girl.

I found the first few chapters of the book a little slow - it took me some time to get my head around the rather unusual plot line that the lead character Lara is seeing the ghost of her dead Great Aunt Sadie who follows her around generally causing mayhem and trying to get her to search for a necklace that has gone missing and which only once found will allow her to pass on to the other side.

If you can suspend your disbelief at the plot and that the lead character is clearly in public places talking to a ghost which is raising some eyebrows and questions about her sanity this becomes a really good read. Sadie's character is at first a little weak but this builds throughout the book and as the story comes together it is a very heartwarming read.

Innovative storyline, different from the usual girl meets boy chick lit and very very good.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Kinsella's other books.
