Although she is initially portrayed as a formulaic antagonist, I was pleasantly surprised by the direction Kinsella eventually took with her character. But neither am I hiding it. How engrossing, you ask? I highly recommend this novel to anyone looking for a quick pick-me-up. Overall Rating. Around The Web. Still not sure this is the right book for you? Why not listen to what some other bloggers had to say about it? And I have to say that I am now officially a Sophie Kinsella fan. Definite must read.
There is more to the novel than simply the romance, with growth for the protagonists, but a happy ending is assured. I love Sophie Kinsella! I liked that it was quirky and fun. Love the quotes you pulled out! Thanks for the kind comment! I had a lot of fun choosing which quotes to include in this particular review.
There were so many great ones to choose from! What I love most about her stories is her humor. Reading them is just fun! The romance aspect was really nice too. I think my favorites of hers, so far, would be Remember Me? Sara K recently posted… Talkfest: Modern Retellings. I loved the Shopaholics series for its fun factor and simplicity, although the further into the series the more far-fetched they got! My favorite of her other books has to be The Undomestic Goddess.
And I most recently read Wedding Night — which would probably be my least favorite. I reading it now and I love it. At 63, your never too old for a madcap comedy about love in unexpected places? To find out it was based from a novel.

Jun 09, Lindsey rated it did not like it Shelves: goal-of The main character lies, cheats, steals, and deceives throughout the entire book. There is not once 'scene' where she was an honest woman with integrity and grace.
She kep i am not normally the type to leave a review, but i must express how much i disliked this book. She kept putting herself in situations where she was in over her head, but she just lied and kept on going!
Another thing that bothers me is she is getting married in a few weeks and she never really 'talks' to her fiance'. View all 18 comments. Recommended to Dija by: Catie.

Lately, only two types of books have been appealing to me: completely epic ones or completely silly ones. I've Got Your Number most definitely falls under the second category. IGYN is funny, sweet, inspirational, romantic, enjoyable, and plain fun. Poppy Wyatt loses her priceless engagement ring mere weeks before her wedding, and her cell phone soon thereafter.
While searching for the former, she comes across a phone thrown in the trash can. Justifying her actions through the timeless "Finders k Lately, only two types of books have been appealing to me: completely epic ones or completely silly ones.
Justifying her actions through the timeless "Finders keepers" rule, she decides to keep it. The phone turns out to be company property and the owner, Sam, wants it back. This results in a lot of bickering and bargaining on both parts, and they end up agreeing to "share" the phone for the time being. In spite of the fact that Poppy is a combination of everything I despise in women, I still ended up adoring her.
She makes way more mistakes than the average person and doesn't even realize the consequences, almost like a clueless teenager. She runs away from things that are right in front of her face and hates confrontations. Despite all that, however, there's something entirely sweet and innocent about her, and no matter how hard you try holding on to the hate and annoyance, it keeps slipping because everything else aside, Poppy means well, and manages to at least be funny while messing up.
How could I possibly dislike someone who made me smile and laugh so often? Unexpectedly, Sam is the one who didn't impress me. He's this perfect, serious, rich, confident man, but none of those characteristics make him stand out against any of the other male leads.
It was only during the last few chapters that I grew to love and understand him. It was only then that I realized how amazingly caring and sensitive Sam really is. The love between Sam and Poppy develops slowly but surely since these two are completely different individuals from even more different lives.
If the romance had been rushed and fast-paced, I highly doubt it would have come across as a realistic or long-term relationship. As it happens, though, Sam and Poppy develop into a natural and forever-and-ever type couple, balancing each other out perfectly. All the time. Overall, I've Got Your Number is a delightful read, ideal for all those days you need just a little emotional boost to carry on with your normal routine.
I can't wait to read more books by Kinsella! For more reviews, visit my blog. Sep 07, Trina Between Chapters rated it liked it Shelves: , contemporary , romance , adult , audiobooks , standalones. This was utterly ridiculous. I'm not saying these scenarios could never happen, but I am saying that I didn't have to just suspend my disbelief - I had to launch it into outer space. But I could not put it down. Jan 13, Mimi Smith rated it it was amazing Shelves: contemporary-romance.
The plot and the situations are often ridiculous and unbelievable, full of crazy coincidences and misunderstandings, the heroines tragically scattered and lost in every way, yet I still love them. Want to know why? I can never stop laughing while reading Sophie Kinsella books. At the beginning of the book, our protagonist, Poppy finds out she has lost her ring. I squeeze my eyes tight.
Little gray cells. Come on. Do your best. So in a moment of desperation grabs a phone she finds in a bin. She gives out her new number to all of her friends and pleads Sam to keep it for a while. He agrees and they start sharing a phone.
She is nosy, so she reads and responds to some of his e-mails, but just to help him. Yeah, the road to hell is paved… Anyway, we soon find out more about Poppy and her engagement. Pretty soon she and Sam are texting on a regular basis and things start happening between them, between one disaster and another. I loved Sam and Poppy. I loved their text messages.
I was actually going to set apart more quotes, but I was so caught up in the book, I forgot to. U will get manky teeth!!! I search the Web for the most gross, revolting photo of decaying teeth I can find.
The phone almost immediately bleeps with a reply: You made me spill my drink. I giggle and text back: Be afraid!!!! Stop it. Stop her.
Hold it off. Delay it. At least get her to think about it. Let me tell you why. As a clever man once said: A treasure such as this should not be left in the hands of Philistines. And I hope you will too. Anything you can do. Anything you can say. The wedding is wrong. Thank you. Since I have this book in an electronic form it required constant going back and forth, so I stopped reading them altogether. View all 19 comments. I've lost it. She complains to herself which sound like complaining to everyone in the world that she lost her engagement ring!
And his parents are coming in the same day! How is that possible? Stay positive!! I love, love love this, man! This book is soooooo cute that I want everyone to know it. The Story. The Characters. They made me smile like an idiot. So, when Poppy possesses this phone, she invades his personal life, too. She read all his messages Awww… and replies them instead of him with xxxx. My favorite scenes have to be that scramble scenes!
When Poppy plays scramble with her genius really? They are so cute and prefect together and this book has one of the most memorable ending-climax ever. Why I'm not destined to meet a handsome, successful businessman like the way Poppy meet Sam in my real life? Jealous Pang. Read it, man. I highly recommend. View all 67 comments.
