I love all of Sophie Kinsella's books. I especially like her non-shopaholic series books (but the Shopaholic series is good too).
Lara Lington is the niece of a man who started a famous branch of coffee shops. Her last name is very recognizable. The book opens with her family gathered for the funeral of her great aunt Sadie. The funeral is really sad. The only people there are Lara, her parents and sister, her famous uncle and his wife and their daughter. That's it. And none of them even knew Sadie at all. And none of them want to be there. There are no flowers. Sadie suddenly appears to Lara and insists she can not be buried without her necklace. This sets off a hilarious chain or events as they try to find the necklace so Sadie can rest in peace.
Through this process Lara really gets to know the 23 year old version of her great aunt Sadie. They become great friends, have some really fun adventures together and Sadie even inadvertently helps Lara find love.
I loved it! I loved the characters. I loved the adventures. It was all great!
And now I will put in my last will and testament that I want everyone to be served a cocktail or glass of champagne upon entrance to my funeral! :)
I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
