As the book title suggests, Katie’s life from the outside looks great, but the reality is different. The story centres on Katie, a farmer’s daughter from Cornwall, who has headed to the big city to become a name in advertising. This was, after all, what I had been drawn to in the tagline. I thought this book would focus more on the fake lives posted on Instagram. It probably looks dreamy if you view it on Instagram, but real-life is rarely like that. What you learn as this story progresses is that no-one’s life is perfect, it only looks so from afar.
I realised at the end of this book though, that perhaps while Kinsella was still flexing her writing flair, I had perhaps moved on. Hence why I found myself searching for all and any books she had recently released. There’s a subtle moral message, a hunk, a charming heroine, goofy moments and the outcome we were all hoping for. You know what you are going to get with a Sophie Kinsella novel. Definitely enough to search out her writing as Madeliene Wickham. I should preface this review with the knowledge I adore Sophie Kinsella, I have enjoyed her Shopaholic series, and Becky Bloomwood character for many years. RP and I are in the habit of reading at night time, and my appetite for reading has grown considerably. It’s akin to a chocolate box selection card most days. One of the best things about working at “ The People’s Friend” is the sheer amount of books that are sent to our Fiction team. When I noticed this on Amazon, I couldn’t resist putting it into my shopping basket. One day my life will match my Instagram account.
But the ending soured it for me.Īs a digital gal, I was drawn in by the blurb: In “My Not So Perfect Life”, Sophie Kinsella is back to her best. Sign up to our Weekly newsletter Subscribe to our magazine for more great content
