"Twenties Girl" by Sophie Kinsella
It took me quite a while to read this book for I just wasn’t interested. The beginning was very dull and the characters were annoying and cliché. This story was too generic after reading The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern.
I really think Kinsella tried too hard and should have trashed the idea long ago. The entire book is about a girl who is visited by an obnoxious ghost (and I'm sorry to say we don't even find out why) with only limited plot included. The heroin Lara Lington has no special qualities and is in fact identical to all other heroines in Kinsella’s books. The only parts I enjoyed were those including the romantic interest Ed and when the ghost shouted into people's ears.
Unless this book was given to you as a Christmas gift and will only collect dust on your shelf, I do not recommend reading this book. The only books I do recommend by her are Remember Me and The Undomestic Goddess.
