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.

Another excellent story from Sophie Kinsella. So far I loved every book she has written. Once into it I found it just as good as her shopaholic series. Highly recommend for a fast, light enjoyable read.

If you are a girl born without the "housewife" genes, this is the book for you. Even if you are a great housewife, you'll enjoy this book because you can giggle at the main character's hilarious attempts to figure out what the heck she's doing, how she got where she is now, and how she's going to get out. A light, entertaining read.

This book was fantastic! I love Samantha! She is absolutely hilarious! I love her quirky personality, and I really related to the trials she was put through - I felt stressed when she was stressed,embarrassed when she was embarrassed and I loved when she loved! Could NOT put this one down for long -- definitely a home run from Kinsella.

This book made me laugh out loud several times. It is *not* nearly as good (not as comical, flowing, believable) as the Shopaholic series. I still recommend it, however, as Kinsella is an exceptional writer and her books are great light reads at any time.

This book was an appropriate choice for my book club's "light book" month. A light read; feel-good, and comical at times, this was an enjoyable read. For a brief moment, there was almost too much back-and-forth indecisiveness from the main character, but it was then resolved. This is a book I could read again, and I will look for more by this author.

I couldn't stop reading this one. I had about 20 pages to go and also had to get some sleep but I kept on reading! Though this book is good for the 20-something crowd and I am in my late 30's, I still enjoyed this book. I'm going to start the Shopaholic series next.

This book is really cute. It almost has the feel of the Shopaholic novels to it. It is someone that keeps finding their way into an unending mountain of messes. If you have ever held a job of high power and high stress in the corporate world, there are times that you have probably felt that you would want to relate to the main character. Overall, it is a good escape, and you get enthralled and a good laugh out of someone else’s problems.

This was a cute story. I really enjoyed the book. Maybe a bit too descriptive in parts - somethings should remain sacred . . . but a really fun read.

Sophie is at her best in this book....I laughed my way through it and can hardly wait to read another by her....I so relate to her! Great read for all!

Hilarious comedy of errors.

While the book has some absolute hilarious moments and a good romance story involved, the whole concept of an attorney going down to a maid was a bit far fetched. If you want a humorous light read, this is a decent book. Not one I kept but worth the time to read.

A great chick-lit read!

Sophie Kinsella never disappoints me!

Great book, couldn't put it down.

What a complete life change. I loved this book.

I loved this book! I thought it was really funny and I couldn't wait to see how it turned out.

Another great book from Sophie Kinsella.
