My Not So Perfect Life
By Sophie Kinsella – Out now
Sophie Kinsella is known for the hugely popular ‘shopaholics’
series but even if you’ve never read
another book by this author I can assure you there is no need. This is a stand
alone book with a conversational, funny and relatable writing style that will
have you rooting for the heroine.
Katie Brenner or ‘Cat’ as she prefers to be known has the perfect
life - she lives in London, has a top
job and a fabulous Instagram feed to prove it...or does she? My not so perfect
life is a story about perception and a life lesson of how what you see in front
of you is not always reality.
My favourite quote from the
book
Loads of
people use coloured filters or whatever on Instagram. Well, my filter is the
“this is how I’d like it to be” filter.”
Katie is an instantly
likeable character and the book has a lot of comic moments that made me laugh
out loud. It is all to easy to identify with her struggle to keep up with the
Joneses and most of all impress her
lovely dad.
So when her boss Demeter
fires her and she has to move back to the family farm to help set up a new
business what will happen next?
This book is part love
story, part work place drama and definitely a witty insight into our obsession
with social media and the quest to be perfect. It’s a light hearted read you can
dip in and out of with ease that will definitely have you hitting the ‘ like’
button.Review by: Jennine (@sugarmousemama)
