Summary
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Your Life comes a humorous and heartwarming novel about family and finding a second chance at love， set against the backdrop of the most fabulous party you've ever snuck into。
"Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse， while leaving me giddy with laughter。"--Jojo Moyes， author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover
It's been almost two years since Effie's beloved parents got divorced， destroying the image of the happy， loving childhood she thought she had。 Since then， she's become estranged from her father and embarked on a feud with his hot （and much younger） girlfriend， Krista。 And now， more earth-shattering news: They've sold Greenoaks， the rambling Victorian country house Effie has always called home。
When Krista decides to throw a grand "house-cooling" party， Effie is originally left off the guest list--and then receives a last-minute "anti-invitation" （maybe it's because she called Krista a gold-digger， but Krista totally deserved it， and it was mostly a joke anyway）。 Effie declines， but then remembers a beloved childhood treasure is still hidden in the house。 Her only chance to retrieve it is to break into Greenoaks while everyone is busy celebrating。 As Effie sneaks around the house， hiding under tables and peeping through trapdoors， she realizes the secrets Greenoaks holds aren't just in the dusty passageways and hidden attics she grew up exploring。 Watching how her sister， brother， and dad behave when they think no one is looking， Effie overhears conversations， makes discoveries， and begins to see her family in a new light。 Then she runs into Joe--the love of her life， who long ago broke her heart， and who's still as handsome and funny as ever--and even more truths emerge。
But will Effie act on these revelations？ Will she stay hidden or step out into the party and take her place with her family？ And truthfully， what did she really come back to Greenoaks for？ Over the course of one blowout party， Effie realizes that she must be honest with herself and confront her past before she'll ever be able to face her future。

I downloaded this from my library on a whim， but ended up thoroughly enjoying it and reading it in a day。 A nice easy read， but packed with emotion and great characters。

I just could not get into this book。 The storyline was dull and was just lacking。

I must admit that the only reason I decided to read this book was because there is a dachshund in the story and his name is Bambi！ I might be biased but dachshunds are the best dogs ever and I happen to have the most adorable little sausage girl also called Bambi。Leaving that aside， this book was a fun read with a happy ending， like warm soup for the soul。

Couldn’t put this one down， suspenseful and fun with a lot of family drama and a sweet love story。

I enjoyed this book。 An interesting concept， a sort of fly on the wall kind of thing。 She hides out not wanting to be discovered at a farewell party and over hears many conversations。 I liked the main character and her sister。 Good read

I really enjoyed this book- it was light hearted， the characters were lovable （even the villain！）， and just a fun read。 Cheesy， yes- but a tolerable kind of cheesy for sure。

Das Ende hat mir sehr gut gefallen， zwischendrin hat sich der Plot jedoch etwas gezogen wodurch ich das Buch schnell mal weglegen musste… Deswegen 3/5 Sternen

Sophie Kinsella does not disappoint！ This book had some really adorable moments， a lot of really funny moments and a few of those moments where you just groan and cringe inwardly as the main character does something that you just know is going to backfire！

I think Effie is around 26。 Would you behave so immaturely like a 8 year old if your parents split？ The way I see it is that you had your childhood with them。 She really annoyed me with her immaturity and gloominess。 But I have to admit it was very funny to watch her chasing around the mansion sounding place she used to live in。 So she shouldn’t behave so much as a child Effie has been estranged from her father since at the last family get-together she attended she had it out with his new girlfr I think Effie is around 26。 Would you behave so immaturely like a 8 year old if your parents split？ The way I see it is that you had your childhood with them。 She really annoyed me with her immaturity and gloominess。 But I have to admit it was very funny to watch her chasing around the mansion sounding place she used to live in。 So she shouldn’t behave so much as a child Effie has been estranged from her father since at the last family get-together she attended she had it out with his new girlfriend。 Effie sees Krista as nothing but a gold digger and really wishes her parents had never divorced at all bringing Krista into their lives。 The latest slight comes when Effie finds out that her beloved childhood home is being sold and Krista has not invited her to their goodbye party。 Effie comes up with a plan to sneak into the party to retrieve some of her childhood memories before it’s all gone。The Party Crasher got off to a somewhat slower start for me than some of Sophie Kinsella’s other books have。 To be honest I wasn’t sure if I was even going to like Effie in the beginning but I did end up liking her mainly at the end although mainly enjoyed having all of the laughs that I expect to have from this author。 The brother and sister were a difference to the main character but they strengthened the novel I think。 This one is definitely more on the chicklit side as the family feud is the main focus and the romance is barely there。 I didn’t mind that fact so much myself but that would be my biggest warning when picking this one up if that is what you are searching out。 In the end I enjoyed this one despite the slower start for me and would recommend it。 Review: https://clife。blog/2022/09/17/book-re。。。 。。。more

𝐌𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐧𝐠:Der Humor in dem Buch hat mir sehr gefallen， ich musste oft schmunzeln bzw。 lachen。 Das Buch ist gut für zwischendurch， da es nicht sehr tiefgründig oder komplex ist。 Die Figuren bleiben eher blass， was mich nicht weiter gestört hat。 Allerdings hätte ich mir doch etwas mehr Tiefe bezüglich der Beziehung von Effie und Joe gewünscht。 Für mich ist es ein Wohlfühlbuch。 Die Autorin hat eine tolle Atmosphäre geschaffen und ich konnte mir Greenoakes gut vorstellen。 Der Handlungsverlauf ha 𝐌𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐧𝐠:Der Humor in dem Buch hat mir sehr gefallen， ich musste oft schmunzeln bzw。 lachen。 Das Buch ist gut für zwischendurch， da es nicht sehr tiefgründig oder komplex ist。 Die Figuren bleiben eher blass， was mich nicht weiter gestört hat。 Allerdings hätte ich mir doch etwas mehr Tiefe bezüglich der Beziehung von Effie und Joe gewünscht。 Für mich ist es ein Wohlfühlbuch。 Die Autorin hat eine tolle Atmosphäre geschaffen und ich konnte mir Greenoakes gut vorstellen。 Der Handlungsverlauf hat mir auch gut gefallen。 Die vielen Missverständnisse klären sich nach und nach auf。 Für mich war die Geschichte absolut realistisch， auch wie die Charaktere mit verschiedenen Herausforderungen umgegangen sind。 Am Ende hat es sich für mich leider etwas gezogen。𝗙𝗮𝘇𝗶𝘁: Ein gutes Buch für Zwischendurch mit Wohlfühlatmosphäre und Humor。4/5🌟 。。。more

Grabbed this book at PHX convenience / drugstore as it looked like a fun summer read。 I hadn't read any other Kinsella novels but she seems quite prolific！ I thought this book was just OK or pretty good while reading it。 However， it DOES linger in the mind， especially when you think about people's perceptions of family members and other people。 I'm sure Kinsella fans will love this one。 You might， too。 Grabbed this book at PHX convenience / drugstore as it looked like a fun summer read。 I hadn't read any other Kinsella novels but she seems quite prolific！ I thought this book was just OK or pretty good while reading it。 However， it DOES linger in the mind， especially when you think about people's perceptions of family members and other people。 I'm sure Kinsella fans will love this one。 You might， too。 。。。more

this is a beach or airport read。 it is light， fluffy， predictable and sometimes funny。 don't look for great insight or profound thoughts -- this is bubble gum for the brain。 this is a beach or airport read。 it is light， fluffy， predictable and sometimes funny。 don't look for great insight or profound thoughts -- this is bubble gum for the brain。 。。。more

Plot is boring。 Could’t get into the family drama。 The romance is also whatever。 Seems like a very long story that never ends or climaxes。

Amüsant zu lesen， aber unglaublich kitschig und sehr unglaubwürdig。

Sophie Kinsella books are the sweetest， funniest， and lightest books that I ever did read。 I literally giggled out loud all throughout this book。 Endearing characters， beautiful family ties， and just all around good fun。 I did have the feelings of déjà vu several times but I think most of the stories by Kinsella start to blur together。 Regardless， I still loved it！

This book was not one of my favorite of her books。 It just did not hold my interest。 The characters were not very likable。

Not really my kind of book。 It was all a bit blah blah blah。 The main character was quite in likeable which didn’t help。

Lots of strong language。 Slightly predictable。 Funny premise， and I laughed out loud in a few spots。 Great character development， even if I didn't love all of the characters。 😅 Lots of strong language。 Slightly predictable。 Funny premise， and I laughed out loud in a few spots。 Great character development， even if I didn't love all of the characters。 😅 。。。more
