Publisher's summary

Katie Brenner has the perfect life: a flat in London, a glamorous job, and a supercool Instagram feed.

Okay, so the truth is that she rents a tiny room with no space for a wardrobe, she has a hideous commute to a lowly admin job, and the life she shares on Instagram isn't really hers. But one day her dreams are bound to come true, aren't they?

Until her not-so-perfect life comes crashing down when her megasuccessful boss, Demeter, gives her the sack. All Katie's hopes are shattered. She has to move home to Somerset, where she helps her dad with his new glamping business. Then Demeter and her family book in for a holiday, and Katie sees her chance. But should she get revenge on the woman who ruined her dreams - or try to get her job back? Does Demeter - the woman who has everything - actually have such an idyllic life herself? Maybe they have more in common than it seems. And what's wrong with not so perfect, anyway?

I think I’m in love...

There was nothing to dislike about this book. I love all of Sophie K’s books but this book is one of my all time favourites. Next book please Sophie!

It’s an okay read but not her best

Light hearted enough story but it’s not the best I’ve read from KA. It’s amusing in parts and the story is a little different, in fact I can’t quite say why the book didn’t grab me. Maybe I’ve come to expect something special from KA every time and perhaps that’s not realistic of me. I actually feel I’m being a little unfair to an author I like.
The narration was good and Fiona brought the characters to life.
So don’t let my wishy washy review put you off if you are a dedicated KA fan.

Loved it!

I am a huge Sophie Kinsella fan and this book did not disappoint. I'm hoping this is the start of a series?!!!! Definitely worth my credit!

Super lovely!

Exactly what I hoped for: exciting emotional rollercoaster.
The story might not be realistic, but characters felt relatable enough to make the story enticing. I loved it through until the last moment.

funny, page turner, but predictable in the end

this was a great book, I laughed the entire time I read it. I love the story arc, but I feel in the end it was a bit predictable, and maybe not brave enough while being too brave at the same time. Would definitely pick up another book by Sophie Kinsella though, I'd read them just for the humorous.
