THIS IS THE WORST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!! Instead, read P.S. I Love You or Would I Lie to You
Rating: 1 / 5

I enjoyed “Confessions of a Shopaholic’ so when I needed a light, easy read I picked this. Oh what a mistake. It’s a drag, and it seriously lacked a believable plot. Especially ludicrous was the press conference event at the end where Samantha, a supposedly excellent lawyer punched her colleague in public. Duh. If you must read this, go pick it up at a library. Don’t waste your money buying a copy.

The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella is pure, unadulterated, undiluted Chicklit. It is written in the same style as her Shopaholic books. Why did I ever think that it would change? And yet I read it all from cover to cover anyways.

In Undomestic Goddess, Samantha Sweeting is the heroine. She is a 29 year old lawyer on the verge of partnership at Carter Spink, London’s number one law firm. She works 100 hour weeks in order to close her bank deals for her clients. Just minutes prior to the partnership announcement, Samantha finds out that she has made a 50 million pound mistake and one of her clients loses out big time. Rightly scared of being fired, she leaves the offices and London in a fog and finds herself in the countryside, having been hired as a housekeeper for a wealthy family. Samantha doesn’t have the heart or the ovaries to correct the family so she stays there, learns the ins and out of being a domestic goddess, falls in love and realizes that she never really wanted to be a successful career woman to begin with.

::pukes:: Need I say more? Beach read, mindless. Shallow characters. Made me retch the entire time that I was reading it. Don’t even bother with this one.
