Book Review of "I've Got Your Number"

Just finished reading Sophie Kinsella's I've Got Your Number. If you've read the book and/or seen the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic, you know Kinsella's work. She's know for her grossly funny main characters and laugh out-loud moments.

My review:


I've Got Your Number is a quick, fun read done in Kinsella's quirky style with many funny moments. The fun begins when bride-to-be, Poppy Wyatt looses her engagement ring, and then her cell phone. By pure chance, she finds a perfectly good phone in a trash can. Business man Sam Roxton actually owns the phone, or at least his former, frazzled personal assistant did, until she ditched it. Desperate to be able to have a contact number people can reach her at if her ring is found, she becomes resistant to give the phone back to Sam.

They make a conditional agreement - she is to forward all the emails and texts to him, and she must return the phone as soon as the ring is found.

After innocently snooping and reading his personal and business emails, Poppy notices Sam has a vast amount of unanswered correspondence. And when he does respond, he is often curt. She feels it is her moral duty to help the guy out… adding  her own twist of hugs and smiley faces — lending to a plethora of humorous phone and text conversations, and a satisfying end.

Entertaining, no stress, end-of-summer read. Only disappointment was having to wait to the very end for any type of romantic connection between main two characters.  Although I was pretty sure of a happy ending, Kinsella had me second guessing almost to the last paragraph just which way Poppy Wyatt was going to go.

Currently reading:
Delirium by Oliver Lauren, a story about a futuristic world where 'love' is considered to be a disease. At 18, all are evaluated, and operated on to remove the disease. So far its been an interesting read…

  2. Hi Anne! Glad you enjoyed the suggestion. Kinsella's "Can you keep a Secret" is another funny read. I also highly recommend "Bridget Jones Diary," and the sequel, "Edge of Reason" by Helen Fielding. You might have seen the movie(s) with Renee Zellweger, but the books were even better. So funny!

#FrightFall Read-a-thon

Fall reading So I'm about to start another read-a-thon with Seasons of Reading's #FrightFall Date: October 5-11 There's only one rule to #FrightFall, and it's that we must read ONE scary book (which can be a thriller, mystery, Gothic novel, or similar for those who are faint of heart). I don't typically read thrillers or any of the above types of books, but for this one week, I'm going to expand my horizons and try one or two. Who knows? Maybe I'll find new genre to love! My first selection is Spirit Legacy (The Gateway Trilogy #1) by E.E. Holmes This was free on Amazon when I found it, but Prime and KU members can read it for free anytime. I'm extremely picky about downloading free books, but this had good reviews on both Amazon and Goodreads, and the synopsis was appealing: “The Gateway is open...” These cryptic words wake college student Jess Ballard from a terrifying dream into an even more terrifying reality.
