I think the reason I love this book is because EVERYTHING is marvelously realistic -- and that's probably why it's so funny! She's a loveable character who has numerable faults, yes, but how can you blame her? The Prada shoes were 50% off, after all! I highly recommend all three of Sophie Kinsella's novels, but especially this one -- it's cute, romantic, hilarious, energetic, and un-put-downable!
