Twenties Girl

Synopsis
Lara Lington has always had an overactive imagination, but suddenly that imagination seems to be in overdrive. Normal professional twenty-something young women don't get visited by ghosts. Or do they? When the spirit of Lara's great-aunt Sadie--a feisty, demanding girl with firm ideas about fashion, love, and the right way to dance--mysteriously appears, she has one last request: Lara must find a missing necklace that had been in Sadie's possession for more than seventy-five years, and Sadie cannot rest without it. Lara, on the other hand, has a number of ongoing distractions. Her best friend and business partner has run off to Goa, her start-up company is floundering, and she's just been dumped by the "perfect" man. Sadie, however, could care less. Lara and Sadie make a hilarious sparring duo, and at first it seems as though they have nothing in common. But as the mission to find Sadie's necklace leads to intrigue and a new romance for Lara, these very different "twenties" girls learn some surprising truths from each other along the way. Written with all the irrepressible charm and humor that have made Sophie Kinsella's books beloved by millions, Twenties Girl is also a deeply moving testament to the transcendent bonds of friendship and family.

Twenties Girl is a book that is absolutely impossible to put down. It has multiple stories that tie together into one novel. It has multiple genres that combine to make one book. The British humour keeps the reader constantly amused and wishing they could join Lara in her flat for a night of dancing from the nineteen twenties. Lara is the typical young woman. Her business is having trouble. Her relationship is having trouble. But, there is something unique about Lara. From the start of the novel Lara discovers she has the gift to talk to her aunt. Oddly however, her aunt has just died, and Lara assumes she is speaking to a ghost. Lara is highly entertaining and easy to relate too. All will enjoy this book. For those who want a humourous book this one is perfect. But, if you were looking for something serious it also fits. It has romance, mystery, fantasy, fiction, and anything else you could possibly be looking for.
