Prabhjot Kaur's Reviews > Twenties Girl

Lara Lington is a next door girl which means she's funny, independent, smart, a little annoying (I mean in a good normal way). Her boyfriend, Josh dumped her without any explanation and she's obsessing about him. She's opened a business with her best friend, Natalie who left her to go holidaying in Goa, India. She has caring parents and a very rich I mean super rich uncle. Her great aunt, Sadie just died and she can hear and see and hear Sadie's spirit.

This started out as a very funny read and I knew that I will love it and will rate it 5 stars. I was reading it on the train and laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes, not to mention people surrounding me were looking at me like I was a loony. I can't blame them because first few chapters were a laugh-riot. Until Sadie appears and becomes annoying almost instantly. Let's just say that I didn't like her in the beginning and mostly anywhere in the book. Some aspects of her character were good but she was annoying for the most part.

Lara helps find Sadie her dragonfly necklace which is the only thing that can put Sadie to RIP. How Lara get this necklace, get over Josh and finds love with another man, Ed and how she discovers that her super rich uncle's fortune story is all a lie is this book.

Besides Sadie, I found another let down with this book. Often, I felt like that Sophie was just on one track with the story not quite intermingling the plot. If Lara is trying to find the necklace, Ed was all forgotten about along with basically everything else. And if Lara is making progress with Ed then necklace was no where to be seen and so on.

I still enjoyed the book. I would recommend this to chick-lit lovers obviously.

4 stars
