My (not so) Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella, 2017

Image result for my not so perfect lifeSofie Kinsella books are so enjoyable.  Perfect weekend or beach read.  Funny, interesting enough characters and enough plot bends (not necessary twists) to make the books not utterly tedious & predictable.

Cat Brenner is a Somerset farm girl who reinvents herself upon moving to London. 

Her dream has always been to make it in London and although her entry level research associate job & shared flat outside of London is not exactly "making it," Cat is determined to stick it out.

She does not have the Instagram perfect life she portrays, but is intent on impressing office director Demeter Farlowe, who does have the perfect life - impeccable style, gorgeous family & invited to all the social events. 

Upon returning to her Somerset home, where she has helped her father and step-mom Biddy open a glamping grounds with yurts, Cat becomes Katie again and realizes that no one has the perfect life, no matter what photos they post on social media.

While reading the novel, imagined Anna Kendrick as Katie/Cat.
