I am a huge fan of Sophie Kinsella's books mostly because she writes what she believes in and what she's going through or rather what an average person goes through in their everyday life. Her books might not be science fiction/crime thrillers; they are simple stories, light-hearted and relatable which make you smile. Also, she's definitely among the few authors whom the readers can rely on. She promises one book a year and she delivers. You need not wait endlessly to read more from her. She's been releasing a new book each year in February for three years (or more )and I always preorder her books around Christmas. Its become a part of my life now. I now have a Kinsella weekend in February and I love it.
Her new book "I Owe You One" is a delight. I love how the story takes the reader through the life of a woman who wants to safeguard the family store but also touches the delicate sentiments and pangs of growing up with sibling rivalry. On top of that, we also get a touching love story which also brings up many aspects of a fulfilling and enduring relationship. Throughout the book, the emphasis on keeping up family values and bonding in spite of the many differences you have with them starts getting to you. Misunderstanding between siblings, building up your confidence is very well portrayed. "Family comes first" is what you'll be agreeing to because no matter how different you are from your family, no one else understands you more than your family. Believe in your family, they'll be there for you no matter what.
On a lighter vein, as always, Kinsella treats the readers to something new: the hustle and bustle of managing a store & employees, retaining customers; in short, a guide on how to manage a business successfully. The way she portrays it all is fabulous and you actually get involved in the store accounts and the schedule they run.
The only downside is that this book is a slow read but maybe its because I was a little distracted. All in all, it's a wonderful book. Please go read it :)
