Sophie Kinsella has a way of making her seemingly intelligent protagonist make idiotically unfortunate mistakes. After the discovery of a career-ending snafoo Samantha high-tails it to the middle of nowhere rather than facing her superiors and discussing the mishap. I found it to be quite out of character for the overly uptight workaholic to simply vanish after a mistake, but it didn't force me to give up on the story.
While Samantha was a bit aggravating in the beginning of the novel, I began to appreciate her as time went on. I began to root for her as she learned to cook and clean (even though the time in which she was able to cook gourmet meals was unrealistic) and ultimately I wanted to find out how her life would turn out. Her enchantingly romantic love interest is out of a dream, and the reader can easily fall in love with his gentile patience and adoration of Sam.
It is a quick and easy read, with plenty of entertaining segues and characters. If you are looking for an enjoyable, brain-relaxing story, this is it!
