Publisher's summary

I’ve lost it. :( The only thing in the world I wasn’t supposed to lose. My engagement ring. It’s been in Magnus’s family for three generations. And now the very same day his parents are coming, I’ve lost it. The very same day! Do not hyperventilate, Poppy. Stay positive :) !!

Poppy Wyatt has never felt luckier. She is about to marry her ideal man, Magnus Tavish, but in one afternoon her “happily ever after” begins to fall apart. Not only has she lost her engagement ring in a hotel fire drill but in the panic that follows, her phone is stolen. As she paces shakily around the lobby, she spots an abandoned phone in a trash can. Finders keepers! Now she can leave a number for the hotel to contact her when they find her ring. Perfect!

Well, perfect except that the phone’s owner, businessman Sam Roxton, doesn’t agree. He wants his phone back and doesn’t appreciate Poppy reading his messages and wading into his personal life.

What ensues is a hilarious and unpredictable turn of events as Poppy and Sam increasingly upend each other’s lives through emails and text messages. As Poppy juggles wedding preparations, mysterious phone calls, and hiding her left hand from Magnus and his parents . . . she soon realizes that she is in for the biggest surprise of her life.

Adorable and current!

This should totally be a movie. It's perfect for a rom-com. Wouldn't need to be changed at all. Hilarious and sweet :)

Typical Kinsella

What made the experience of listening to I've Got Your Number the most enjoyable?

Great book as long as you don't dwell on the weaknesses in the story and the weak main character.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Female lead was a bit irritating.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Book, fantastic, narrator ok but better suited for elderly characters

This has to be my favorite chick lit love story ever; it was a fantastic build-up and thrilling, suspense-filled ride clear up until the end!

But I don't recommend the audio version, as the narrator had a raspy voice with an elderly timbre that had me picturing sixty-somethings the entire time, and much of the hero and heroine's repartee takes place via cell phone texts, which doesn't work when you are imagining elderly characters! But this narrator just made them sound SO old that I couldn't help it, lol!

I love it. such fun.

i love Sophie kinsella books, well the ones i have listened to and read, but i think I'm in love with this one i wish they could be a movie based on this book, is such a fun and lovely book i totaly recommend it. every day i couldn't wait to listen to it.

Funny book!

This book is laugh out loud funny! Thank you, it was a great listen!

Loved it!

This one is my fave of Sophie's so far. Adored it. Make a very sweet movie.

Loads of fun!!

I truly enjoyed this lighthearted book written with as much humor and fun as other Sophie Kinsella books. It wasn't as hysterically funny as some of her other titles, but it was stilll worth every penny. The narrator was great. I recommend!!

Funny and light-hearted

It’s a bit predictable but perfect as a beach, plane or house-work listen. If you’re a Sophie fan, this will make you smile and laugh out loud.

Book was cute, irritating narrator

What did you like best about I've Got Your Number? What did you like least?

This was a situation where the character could have just got another phone and moved on, but she reacted to her situation and made it so funny and clever.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The main character was funny.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator's voice was so irritating. I could hardly listen to the story because she had a horribly irritating ring that made it excruciating to listen. It was worse when she was speaking as the main character. She should have just read in her own voice it might have been easier.

Do you think I've Got Your Number needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No

Any additional comments?

I usually don't write comments but if I see this author narrating again I may have to skip the audioboook. She made it very hard to listen and I enjoy listening to books a lot. I wished someone had mentioned her before I bought this one. She took the fun out of listening because I had to try to get past how she sounded. The plus was that the book was so cute and funny, I beared through it.

Narrator gives the story life

What did you love best about I've Got Your Number?

Simple, easy to follow and funny

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sam Roxton was my favorite character. I like thinking people of few words.

Have you listened to any of Jayne Entwistle’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first and she was great.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The moment that Poppy accepted that Magnus was cheating on her. For one moment she revealed she really was not a ditz
