I read a review of this book here at Everyday Reading. It sounded fun, and like a great book to read on vacation, so I bought the Kindle version to take with me to Hawaii.
It was a fun and sometimes funny book. A little romance, a cute premise. I liked it. It is a very contemporary book - about a lost cell phone and lots of texts and emails going back and forth on cell phones. I always wonder what it will be like to read a book like this in ten or fifteen years.
It's very Sophie Kinsella, if you've read any of her other books. There are some language issues (the f-bomb). I usually find that word very, very offensive, but somehow when Brits use it, it's not so bad in my mind. I've heard (and choose to believe) that it's not as bad a word to them as it is for us Americans. Maybe that's just a poor excuse on my part to ignore it in this book.
I would not recommend reading this book on a Kindle like I did. A fun part of the book are footnotes that are scattered throughout. There was a blurb at the beginning of the book telling how to access the footnotes on e-readers, so that helped, but it was time-consuming and frustrating to do so. Maybe other e-readers would be easier than my Kindle.
