I just finished Sophie Kinsella's latest book Twenties Girl. This book was a bit of a departure from the heroines in her previous books, in that one is a ghost. I don't particularly like sci-fi, vampire, or even murder mysteries, so upon realization that she was serious about seeing a ghost apparition, I was a bit skeptical on whether I'd enjoy her latest novel. What I found out was that not only was I able to buy into the 20s flapper girl ghost befriending her great niece (who's alive), but I found their relationship real, funny, and most of all endearing. I think for Kinsella it's a great novel that separates itself from the all popular shopaholic series while retaining that specific Kinsella tone. It didn't take long, just a couple of paces to digest the ghost theme, and I was able to get pulled straight into this story and enjoy every minute.
