But if this is going to be your first Sophie Kinsella, you must give it a skip. Is the story unbelievable? Yes, but people in love can behave randomly, I know a few who have done what not, yes in real life and not just fictional! And you know the story seems to be based on the idiom doodh ka jala chhachh bhi fook fook ke peeta hai (once bitten, twice shy). Oops, my bad my bad, no more spoiler alerts. The way the sisters Fliss and Lottie (female protagonists) keeps on behaving makes you want to kick them or give a tight slap to them at least once to bring them back to reality. But, now to come back to the book in question, the story is a good time-pass, a page turner but only recommended for those who simply love happy ending chick-lits be it what may. While reading this book, I could not help correlating it with Undomestic Goddess all the time, which of course was too too good.
This is what happened when I picked this book Wedding Night for I was looking for a light chick-lit and because it was written by Sophie. I think that sometimes you have such a good view of an author’s writings that when you read her other books, you compare and find the latter ones so much lacking, be it with respect to the writing style or the story-line. Now, whether you’re a fan or not, you’re going to love this complete list of Kinsella novels.I remember reading Sophie Kinsella’s other books where the female protagonist was always a strong character, or is it it was so long back that I am now mistaken.
After the initial success of her novel, she has written a few others before starting her Shopaholic series. Kinsella started her first novel at the age of 24, under her real name, Madeleine Wickham. Kinsella has also written numerous bestselling stand-alone novels including “Remember Me?” and “Twenties Girl”. The series includes eight other novels such as “Shopaholic Abroad” (also published as Shopaholic Takes Manhattan), “Shopaholic Ties the Knot”, “Shopaholic & Sister”, “Shopaholic & Baby”, “Mini Shopaholic”, “ Shopaholic to the Stars”, “Shopaholic to the Rescue” and “ Christmas Shopaholic”. Her first novel in the series, “The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic” (also published as Confessions of a Shopaholic) hit the UK bestseller list in September 2000. She is predominantly known for her Shopaholic series. Sophie Kinsella is one of my whole time favourite rom-com authors.
