The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Full disclosure: I love Kinsella’s books. I love her sense of humor, the quirkiness she gives her characters, and her relatable plots.
This one was no different. I found myself totally laughing my head off (the scene with the nuns and the wall was brilliant) while also identifying 100% with the poor overwhelmed, totally burnt-out Sasha. Geez, do I feel her pain!
The whole thing was brilliant and zany: the hotel and its ridiculous but lovable staff, the broken down cottages, the memories, the chaos caused by misunderstandings and fear of telling the truth… the romance (swoon).
I was a little disappointed in the real reason why Finn had kept his secrets (just felt a little too unbelievable, too contrite), but the rest of the book more than makes up for it.
As usual Kinsella wrote a book about being a woman in today’s world with humor, compassion, and humanity. Highly recommend it.
