a Not-so-perfect; My Not So Perfect Life ###/5 #bookreview
Katie Brenner has the perfect life: a flat in London, a glamorous job, and a super-cool Instagram feed.OK, so the truth is that she rents a tiny room with no space for a wardrobe, has a hideous commute to a lowly admin job, and the life she shares on Instagram isn’t really hers.But one day her dreams are bound to come true, aren’t they?” - goodreads synopsisSophie’s #mynotsoperfectlife receives a respectable 3 out of 5 hashtags from me. My not so Perfect Life is very #thedevilwearsprada, goes to London.The first 2 chapters of the book is torture to get through (sorry, honesty and all that). It reads like a high school “what-I-did-this-weekend” essay; the author tries to explain and jam too much information down your throat (especially about Demetre) and Katie is very naïve and annoying to the point where you want to grab her by the shoulders, shake her a little and shout: “No man! Life doesn’t have to be this hard, if you are unhappy, make a change!!!”.And then something great happens – the story starts flowing, you start relating to the characters and appreciate them for who they are and what they contribute to the story. There are a few enjoyable ‘feel-good’ (almost magical) moments that draws you deeper into Katie’s world, followed by disastrous (albeit hilarious) unfortunate events that leaves you with a bit of a ‘wtf??’-feel.The story is very typical, but so enjoyable. There are lessons (and I really emphasize, true life lessons) about family, loyalty, honesty and protecting your heart. ‘Because it’s human nature to hope for impossible things.’ Haven’t we all been in a ‘self-doubt’ place at one time or another? Don’t we all go through moments of “I have so much more to offer, if someone would just notice me…”? Sophie illustrates this so well in her writing and you feel as if you are Katie and not just reading about Katie.My favourite quotes (in no particular order): "I could do anything, go anywhere, be anyone." “Keep up the charmed, life-is-perfect myth.” “Stuff that balances out the bright-and-shiny. Just like there is for all of us. Bright-and-shiny on the one side; the crappy truth on the other.” “No one’s life has to be perfect.“Other #sophiekinsella books include:Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic #1)Can You Keep a SecretThe Undomestic GodessRemember Me?I've Got Your Number**SPOILER ALERT** do not continue if you do not want to read a spoilerI do want to add that Katie’s story has a happy ending of course (in more ways than one). Even though I felt the story in the middle was very enjoyable and a fun read, the ending was unfortunately very predictable in a ‘chick-flick-the-boy-comes-back-for-the-girl’ kind of way.
