Summary

'Joyous and funny, [with] emotional hidden depths。' JILL MANSELL

What might your family say about you if you weren't in the room。。。。?

________

Escape with the new Sophie Kinsella romcom about family love, family tensions and family secrets。

Effie's still not over her parents splitting up a year ago and her dad and his awful new girlfriend are posting photos everywhere (with the hashtags #viagraworks and #sexinyoursixties)。 Now they're selling the beloved family home and holding a 'house-cooling' party, but Effie hasn't been invited。

Then she remembers her precious Russian dolls, safely tucked away up a chimney, and has no choice but to go back for them。 She'll just creep in, grab the dolls and leave。 No one will know she was ever there。

But Effie can't find the dolls。 And as she secretly clambers around dusty attics, hides under tables and tries (and fails) to avoid bumping into her ex-boyfriend, she discovers unexpected truths about her family - and even about herself。

With time running out, Effie starts to wonder if the only way to find out what's really going on with her family is to simply crash the party。。。

Expect shocking secrets, hilarious mix-ups and an unforgettable romance!

Very cute and an easy ready!

Jessica

it started off as a poor man's bel canto… The brunch scene was the pinnacle… the book was alright, just kind of boring :( it started off as a poor man's bel canto… The brunch scene was the pinnacle… the book was alright, just kind of boring :( 。。。more

Christine Montgomery

Great holiday read, if a little predictable

Marli Fitzgerald

Horrible waste of time。

Lauren Bush

Rom com with a little bit of mystery。 Enjoyable but not especially memorable and some cheesy moments。

Marcia

Brenda

Kathleen Eigenbrode

Great easy beach read。 Made me smile a lot。

Anna Tobia

I couldn’t get through this fast enough。 The plot was nonexistent, childish, and somewhat absurd。 Extremely disappointed in this book。

Alice

Couldn’t put this book down。 Read it all in one go。 Loved it。

Trish Stokoe

Laugh out loud read such a fantastic author!! Took me few chapters before i actually got in to it then once I did couldn’t put book down definitely worth a read

Christen

What an unexpected, fun read! I read it all in a day!

Anna-Leigh

The main character annoyed me a little in the beginning, but as I continued to listen I became more interested in the stories of the other characters and how it all worked it。 A cute ending! Format: Audiobook

Abi

Such a fun, heartwarming story! Had a lot more twists and turns than I expected and definitely kept me hooked。

Jessica Berg

Cute story! I was laughing out loud while I was listening to it in the gym 😊

Carrie

I haven’t read a Sophie Kinsella in forever! I remember that I like her

Peggy

3。5 Typical Kinsella but relaxing read after Cloud Cuckoo Land。

Debra

This was a cute family story。 I usually love a Sophie Kinsella book, but this didn’t click with me right away。 It was a bit silly at the start and I almost dnf but in the end, it was a sweet story。 3。5 stars

Linda

Rolig bok om familjer, gamla spöken och missuppfattningar。 Ett hus spelar stor roll men det är också härliga karaktärer och jag gillar att alla får komma till tals。

Angela

Effie is upset that her parents are suddenly divorcing and then selling the family home she loves。 Then her dad’s new girlfriend hosts a goodbye house party and because of their disagreements, Effie doesn’t really get invited properly。 So she sneaks into the house during the party。 At least 75% of the book is set during the party! So yes, it really is about a party crasher。 It makes for a quick read。 Fun。 Kept my interest。 And similar to many of Kinsella’s books/characters - embarrassing moments Effie is upset that her parents are suddenly divorcing and then selling the family home she loves。 Then her dad’s new girlfriend hosts a goodbye house party and because of their disagreements, Effie doesn’t really get invited properly。 So she sneaks into the house during the party。 At least 75% of the book is set during the party!

Lauren

Not as silly and entertaining as her other books。 I was a little bored reading this one。

Jill Paz

This was charming with lots of heart and humor。 Great characters, and an emotional turning point in a family's story。 This was charming with lots of heart and humor。 Great characters, and an emotional turning point in a family's story。 。。。more

Loved it。 Laughed out loud at so many places。 I enjoyed it thoroughly。

Emily Morning

5 stars for the harry styles reference

Meg

I found this read quite childish。 The middle became gripping and then the ending was quite anti climatic!

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 This book had so much potential, but overall was so unrealistic。 The plot needed more depth and explanation as I left this book with no message。 Effie destroys her family and tears apart peoples relationships, but it’s all excused because she’s “struggling with the divorce”。 Her character is weak and has no strong points, if anything her only one is being toxic。 Yet the book is written as if I’m supposed to be on her side?? She gets back with Joe and then the curtain falls。 But what about her fa This book had so much potential, but overall was so unrealistic。 The plot needed more depth and explanation as I left this book with no message。 Effie destroys her family and tears apart peoples relationships, but it’s all excused because she’s “struggling with the divorce”。 Her character is weak and has no strong points, if anything her only one is being toxic。 Yet the book is written as if I’m supposed to be on her side?? She gets back with Joe and then the curtain falls。 But what about her father, who’s next relationship was torn apart because Effie was a jealous baby who couldn’t take the time to understand her stepmother。 And her brother, who just magically dumped his girlfriend of many years and then turned to alcohol。 Don’t get me started on her Bean is suddenly pregnant after not even a month of dating。 Everyone’s life is awful at the end of the book, but hip hip hooray for Effie and Joe who get their happy ever after。 All in all I hope no one reads this and thinks it’s acceptable to act this way。 Especially younger people, who I was expecting it was aimed for until this random sex scene that started and finished within 2 sentences。 Still don’t understand the plot, but at least it’s another book added to my list。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 Effie’s life has been flipped upside down with her dad’s divorce。 When she was not invited to her dads party by his new girl friend she goes on an adventure of her own。 During this she has to confront her past and emotions she had been avoiding from her dads divorce。 This cute book does all of that。

Lauren

This book was exactly what I needed- light, silly, nothing to think too deeply about。 A pallette cleanser in a way。

RayBray

Adorable and light hearted。 Reads like a movie。 I was annoyed with Effie at the beginning, but loved her by the end。 Just the escape I needed。
