"If I've learned one lesson from all that's happened to me, it's that there is no such thing as the biggest mistake of your existence. There's no such thing as ruining your life. Life's a pretty resilient thing, it turns out."
Goodreads Description
Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable. She’s made a mistake so huge, it’ll wreck any chance of a partnership.
Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she’s mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as housekeeper. Her employers have no idea they’ve hired a lawyer–and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. She can’t sew on a button, bake a potato, or get the #@%# ironing board to open. How she takes a deep breath and begins to cope–and finds love–is a story as delicious as the bread she learns to bake.
But will her old life ever catch up with her? And if it does…will she want it back?
Review
Sophie Kinsella writes an amazing book about finding yourself in this life. Samantha is a great example of a aorkaholic in a modern society. She discovers that she would rather explore life and its possibilities, than be in an office 24/7. Kinsella reminds us that is does not matter what you do, as long as you love it and remember to treat yourself to some rest every now and then.
I do not really have a lot to write about this book. Sometimes that happens and it is okay. I can say though that I loved this book. It is an easy read, but it still leaves you inspired and with a warm fuzzy feeling. I had a hard time putting it down. It kept me hooked all the way toward the end. It was hilarious and embarrassing at the same time. Read it!
