Search - The Undomestic Goddess

When my best friend talked about this book to me she said something like "I can't believe how many times she messed up and miraculously didn't get caught!" which summarizes this book pretty well. Samantha Sweeting has a genius IQ and works at a very demanding law firm. She is under a lot of stress but is good at her job, until one day she finds a security document on her desk that she somehow forgot to file. Panicked, Samantha cracks and flees the city, and ends up in front of a big house. She intends to ask for water and directions, but gets mistaken for a housekeeper candidate and is hired on the spot. Samantha knows NOTHING about housework, but wants to lie low after the uproar at her firm, and madness ensues as she messes up everything she tries and then runs around hiding the evidence. As usual Kinsella also introduces a romance to the story. Cute, funny read, though I did feel a little stressed out by her situation at her law firm.

Typically addictive Sophie Kinsella! This one did have a little twist though. She's not a shopaholic, she's a housekeeper. Very cute. I took it on vacation with me and the 4 hour plane ride FLEW by! I definitely recommend this if you are a Kinsella fan or just a fan of chic lit.

Sophie Kinsella's books have been my guilty pleasure for years now. Whenever you want to read something light-hearted, fun, and engaging enough that you don't want to put it down, pick up one of her books. You're guaranteed to have a great time following the antics and mis-adventures of her latest heroine.

I found this book witty, entertaining, and a quick read!

I love Sophie Kinsella and I truly loved this book. It did start off a bit slow, well not slow, but it took me awhile to really reel me in good. I like to read a book and NOT want to put it down. I have ADD and that's the way I judge if a book is good if I can sit for hours without losing my patience! Other than it taking me a lil' longer then usual to get wrapped by the story it was really delightful. The romance is a bit typical,but it's hard to find good books that have some romance without all the XXX action going on! That's what I love about Kinsella and Jill Mansell. BTW there is no XXX stuff in here, I just reread what I wrote and thought it might be misconstrued! It's a definite must read for chick lit luvers everywhere :)

Kinsella delivers another book with lots of LOL moments but also a lot of social commentary that is really on the money. Not as romantic, IMO, as the shopaholic books, but still delivers romance in the end. The story was interesting, although the situation seemed a bit unbelievable, but the book is a fun and worthy read.
