Even though I had no interest in the premise of the novel, I still enjoyed Twenties Girl. Sophie Kinsella books are witty, contain original plots and thoroughly English.The protagonist, Lara Lington, is at a cross roads in her life. She has started a new recruitment company with her friend, who decides to remain on holiday after meeting a man, and has dumped by her boyfriend Josh.
Lara's great-aunt Sadie has recently passed away, and when she attends the funeral, Sadie's ghost haunts Lara as she is not able to rest until she finds a necklace that has disappeared.
The search for the necklace and Sadie's desire to be young again results in Lara discovering the true nature of her relationship with Josh, her millionaire Uncle Bill's secrets and crossing paths with American businessman Ed.
With Sadie's prodding (i.e. insistent screeching at the top of her lungs serving as the mysterious voice one hears in one's head), Lara successfully gets her recruiting firm off the ground and discovers Sadie's legacy that will allow her to finally rest in peace.
Entertaining and a quick read, I had to suspend disbelief a few times, but still thoroughly enjoyed Twenties Girl.
