Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella
5.0
I really can't be sure from where should I start describing this book, initially I thought this is just a light chick lit book with self love kinda plot. But did this book wow me and how?! The story follows life of Lara who is going to a funeral of her great grand aunt Sadie, nobody in the family knows about the aunt but since the millionaire uncle Bill asks them to come pay respects, they do.
Nobody is happy or really looking forward to the funeral but impressing uncle Bill by their presence. A background of Lara's miserable love life and flunking business is provided. In short, Lara's basically on a sinking ship. In the funeral Lara suddenly hears a young girl asking her to stop the funeral. Nobody can see the girl or hear her but Lara. When the girl introduces herself she realises the girl is a ghost of Sadie. The ghost Sadie wants her necklace and wants Lara to find it for her.
Initially the plot is quite funny as Sadie asks Lara to ask a stranger out on a date and stuff, one will think it's a funny story about a ghost guiding a girl into funny circumstances. But! BUT WAIT FOR IT! there is an unexpected mystery which will leave the readers absorbed in the book by the end. Important lessons about leaving a mark in life, being a person, a life that matters are just some of thought provoking insights the book left me with.
Will recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good ghost, guardian angel-ish book with a mystery. Its actually quite funny too.
