3 1/2 starsBasic elements of a Sophie Kinsella novel:a) A daffy, non-confrontational girl who will do anything and everything (including carry out highly imaginative hare-brained schemes) to avoid her problems, and always has the best intentions at heart, even as she’s making colossal mistakes.b) A love interest who’s a bit too structured and straight-laced, is highly placed in some sort of business setting, and who finds the main character’s hijinks to be adorable.c) The boyfriend of the main c...

In the beginning, “I’ve Got Your Number” seems a little silly. But as I kept on reading, the more I realized what a really clever, funny, and witty book this is. The entertaining domino effect of the loss of an engagement ring makes for an enjoyable romp.This novel reminds me of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn’s “Bringing Up Baby”, but instead of a lost baby leopard bringing the two protagonists together, it’s a lost phone. As in the classic film, the lead female is an adorable bundle of neurot...

This was utterly ridiculous. I'm not saying these scenarios could never happen, but I am saying that I didn't have to just suspend my disbelief - I had to launch it into outer space.But I could not put it down.

Welcome to chick-lit 101 with all important footnotes! Rule 1. Our leading lady with a heart of gold is invariably marrying the wrong guy (1). He doesn't truly love her, treat her right etc etc etc....Rule 2. There must be a meet-cute to set hearts all a flutter (2)Rule 3. New boy understands girl like no one else before (3)Rule 4. There is A LOT of flirtation without either party realising they're flirting. They think they're just getting to know a new "friend". Texting is a GREAT medium for

Oh my goodness!! I loved this so much. Great amounts of humor and a slow-burn romance that ends with my heart filled with butterflies. Lots and lots of them.Great job Kinsella!!Favorite quote: “I don’t know if I love her. All I can say is she’s the one I think about all the time. She’s the voice I want to hear. She's the face I hope to see.”

There are moments in life that the white-chocolate Magnum ice cream was invented for, and this is one of them. How wonderful it is when two people meet and get to know each other! The beginning, the development of a relationship, is always exciting and glamorous. Sophie Kinsella creates very special and genuine circumstances for this romance:- an unbelievable situation,- a hasty engagement,- a nosy and very vacillating fiancée,- a very, very unstable fiancé,- an attractive businessman

I just read this book in one sitting because Sophie Kinsella is a hilarious and engaging author! This is my favorite book by her, including the Confession of a Shopaholic books (I know, it's a high honor). I loved the ending and how it's not a typical fairytale riding-off-into-the-sunset-and-then-they-live-happily-ever-after-and-have-twenty-kids-who-grow-up-to-be-super-attractive-blah-blah-blah ending, but you can create your own idea of what happens after the last page. SUPER cute and obviously...

2.5 STARS This book did not need to be longer than 200 pages. "I've Got Your Number" has one of those plots that would be more entertaining as a movie. The first half was witty and cute & I enjoyed a great deal. It's the last 40% that bored the shit out of me. Not to mention WAY TOO MANY unnecessary secondary characters. I still might read some of Kinsella's other books.

FUN-tabulous in every way!!My first Sophie Kinsella experience and it was completely delightful. Her British humor had me laughing out loud so many times, I lost count.You simply cannot walk away from this book and your heart not be full of adoring love for Poppy. Complication after complication follows her wherever she goes. She is like a walking, unassuming disaster, but all she is trying to do is help others. This is a lighthearted ‘romance,’ but the crux of the storyline is all about Poppy’s...

Just what I needed as a break from my WOT Re-read.Lilyan's reactions as the book progressed:First there was a lot of:Then, as we got to know Poppy, I thought, "Oh No! Not another brainless klutz!". Why do female authors think ditsy females are cute? They're not! To add to the idiocy, she has no spine. *sigh*.But then, enter Sam:Sam's and Poppy's interactions:Finally, when Poppy starts pulling her shit together:There was a relapse towards the end when she reverted back to being a dumb ass, but le...

Lately, only two types of books have been appealing to me: completely epic ones or completely silly ones. I've Got Your Number most definitely falls under the second category. IGYN is funny, sweet, inspirational, romantic, enjoyable, and plain fun. Poppy Wyatt loses her priceless engagement ring mere weeks before her wedding, and her cell phone soon thereafter. While searching for the former, she comes across a phone thrown in the trash can. Justifying her actions through the timeless "Finders k...

I've lost it. :(Once upon a time, a clumsy lady Poppy Wyatt comes through the page. She complains to herself which sound like complaining to everyone in the world that she lost her engagement ring! The ring of her fiancé’s family! And his parents are coming in the same day! Oops. and WHAT THE HECK She lost her phone, too!!! How is that possible?Stay positive!! :)Then, this poor lady Poppy Wyatt found a phone in a bin Awww… “If it’s in the bin, it’s public puberty!” So Poppy take the phone out an...

i am not normally the type to leave a review, but i must express how much i disliked this book. I was trying to give chick-lit a second chance after it left a bad taste in my mouth 6 or 7 years ago- but this book is just RIDICULOUS. as i see the other reviews i realize i stand alone in my opinion, but i stand by it nonetheless.The main character lies, cheats, steals, and deceives throughout the entire book. There is not once 'scene' where she was an honest woman with integrity and grace. She kep...

Okay, bear with me here. I listened to I've Got Your Number on audio immediately after finishing Stephen King's On Writing. In that book, King warns against relying too much on adverbs:"I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs, and I will shout it from the rooftops. To put it another way, they're like dandelions. If you have one on your lawn, it looks pretty and unique. If you fail to root it out, however, you find five the next day ... fifty the day after that ...and then, my brothers a...

Overidentifying with a Sophie Kinsella character is often a sign that you're on the verge of:a. a nervous breakdownb. being arrested for fraudc. Finnish Finnish Finnishd. all of the aboveWell, Finnish Finnish Finnish because I loved I've Got Your Number and totally related to the main character, Poppy. I mean, who isn't absolutely, life-on-the-line dependent on their cell phone? Who doesn't think the Lion King was the greatest musical?! And who hasn't pretended they were an answering machine whe...

I received this book from the Goodreads "First-Reads" giveaway, and this was my first giveaway won. I was so excited to see that I'd won Sophie Kinsella's new book. This book is going to be released on Valentines Day.As soon as I started this book I couldn't put it down. I had the afternoon off so I just sat here and read it cover to cover. It was such a fun read. I feel like Sophie is amazing at writing characters that are just so darn loveable, you can't help but root for them. Poppy is a prim...

❥ 3.75 / 5 stars“Lover? I don’t know. I don’t know if she loves me. I don’t know if I love her. All I can say is, she’s the one I think about all the time. She’s the voice I want to hear. She’s the face I hope to see.” OMG. I’m not dead yet because of Sam right?

5 starsI’ve thought about it and have come to the conclusion there is just no logical reason why I love these books. The plot and the situations are often ridiculous and unbelievable, full of crazy coincidences and misunderstandings, the heroines tragically scattered and lost in every way, yet I still love them. Want to know why?Because they’re bloody funny. I can never stop laughing while reading Sophie Kinsella books. And I’ve Got Your Number didn’t disappoint.At the beginning of the book, ou

This book was so much fun! Highly recommend the audiobook. Sophie Kinsella's novels are so humorous, rare are the books that can make me laugh!

AWESOME BOOK!!!!!The text messages inspired me.. so.. here I am, trying a little text faces to express how I feel. :)When i just started reading it, I was like this ------> :-O>> OMG!!!!
