I think I just went through a mini technological romance phase because this past trip to the book store I picked up this text message romance along with Rainbow Rowell’s Attachments, which is love by e-mail. Let me just say, both were amazing!
While reading this my thoughts were a two sided coin:
- OMG!!! This poor lady! I would just die of mortification!!!! Totally feeling the second hand embarrassment here!
- And this is why we should not tell lies…
They both went hand and hand. Her lies were the main cause of all her extremely embarrassing and troublesome situations and although this book was not relatable (thank goodness), it was still amazing. Now I did not get overly attached to the main character, Poppy Wyatt but this girl is super hilarious and although there does not seem to be a lot of depth to her, it was mostly her vulnerability that made her human. Yes the situations seemed very unlikely but her flaws were real. She really needs to surround herself with better friends though; very self-centered, stereotypical rich airhead type of girls that only seem to be your friend to further the gossip streams.
Poppy’s interactions with Sam were spectacular and even though he tends to be a grump, Sam is my favorite character (a very modern day Mr. Darcy); a very brief and haughty businessman to the core with a lovely sense of humor. Poppy seems to bring out the best and worst of him, depending on what lie she has spun and it almost always enacts a witty banter battle (yay!)
A perfect summer read that will make you want to hunt down more Kinsella books (did that at the library today)!
