Publisher Description

Lara Lington has always had an overactive imagination, but suddenly that imagination seems to be in overdrive. Normal professional twenty-something young women don’t get visited by ghosts. Or do they? When the spirit of Lara’s great-aunt Sadie–a feisty, demanding girl with firm ideas about fashion, love, and the right way to dance–mysteriously appears, she has one last request: Lara must find a missing necklace that had been in Sadie’s possession for more than seventy-five years, and Sadie cannot rest without it. Lara, on the other hand, has a number of ongoing distractions. Her best friend and business partner has run off to Goa, her start-up company is floundering, and she’s just been dumped by the “perfect” man. Sadie, however, could care less. Lara and Sadie make a hilarious sparring duo, and at first it seems as though they have nothing in common. But as the mission to find Sadie’s necklace leads to intrigue and a new romance for Lara, these very different “twenties” girls learn some surprising truths from each other along the way. Written with all the irrepressible charm and humor that have made Sophie Kinsella’s books beloved by millions, Twenties Girl is also a deeply moving testament to the transcendent bonds of friendship and family.

"at first it was a tad difficult for me to get into, as I was getting quite embarrassed for Lara. However, it definitely came out with a great plot, lovely little sentiments, and kept me turning pages through to the end. I will absolutely be reading more from Sophie Kinsella after this!"

    " This is the 3rd book of Sophie Kinsella that I have read and I admit, this is an "okay" book after a long day's work. It would be nowhere near my favorite books list nor would I recommend it to others with gusto. If it just so happened that you find yourself wanting a light story with ghost element, this might be your cup of tea. For me, it's average. "

    " In het begin had ik een klein beetje moeite met dit verhaal omdat ik helemaal niks heb met geesten. Gelukkig werd het boek steeds komischer en uiteindelijk zelfs bijna even hilarisch als de meeste andere boeken van Sophie Kinsella. "

    " I found this a bit different to Sophie's other books, but loved it just as much. Her usual sweet loveable heroine was there, but it was the unusual best friend that I liked. "

    " This was a book club pick. A light, fluff read in my opinion. I've always been a fan of the twenties so of course I loved the details of the makeup & hair. While it was predictable, it was still a fun story. "

    " Light hearted book about Lara and her great-aunt Sadie Lancaster and the search for a missing dragonfly necklace. It gives a good insight about 20's Flapper fashion, and is very funny in parts.. "

    " I think Sophie Kinsella is hilarious. I literally laugh out loud when I read her books. Is she formulaic? Absolutely. But her formula is entertaining and funny cotton candy. I enjoy some fluffy, cloudy cotton candy sometimes. I need it sometimes and she never lets me down. "

    " Normally I think books in this genre are appropriate only for beach reading where fluff is excusable, but in this case I thought the extra plot twists took it beyond chick-lit drivel into a funny, but light read. "

    " To be honest I didn't get more than 3 or 4 chapters in. It was too much of a snooze-fest for me to plow through. I do like Ms. Kinsella's other non-Shopaholic titles but I just couldn't get into this one. "
