New Releases by Sophie Kinsella

Sparks fly in this delightful novel about two burned out professionals who meet at a ramshackle resort on the British seaside—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher. “I devoured The Burnout in one greedy gulp. It’s funny, sad, relatable, and brilliantly done. Sophie Kinsella is the queen of romantic comedy.”—Jojo Moyes She can do anything . . . just not everything. Sasha has had it. She cannot bring herself to respond to another inane, “urgent” (but obviously not at all urgent) email or participate in the corporate employee joyfulness program. She hasn’t seen her friends in months. Sex? Seems like a lot of effort. Even cooking dinner takes far too much planning. Sasha has hit a wall. Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga, and find peace, she heads to the seaside resort she loved as a child. But it’s the off season, the hotel is in a dilapidated shambles, and she has to share the beach with the only other occupant: a grumpy guy named Finn, who seems as stressed as Sasha. How can she commune with nature when he’s sitting on her favorite rock, watching her? Nor can they agree on how best to alleviate their burnout (Sasha: manifesting, wild swimming; Finn: drinking whisky, getting pizza delivered to the beach). When curious messages, seemingly addressed to Sasha and Finn, begin to appear on the beach, the two are forced to talk—about everything. How did they get so burned out? Can either of them remember something they used to love? (Answer: surfing!) And the question they try and fail to ignore: what does the energy between them—flaring even in the face of their bone-deep exhaustion—signify?

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Part love story, part workplace drama, this sharply observed novel is a witty critique of the false judgments we make in a social-media-obsessed world, from the author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life. “Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover Everywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Katie’s life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle—from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she’s trying to negotiate. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud. Then, just as she’s finding her feet—not to mention a possible new romance—the worst happens. Demeter fires Katie. Shattered but determined to stay positive, Katie retreats to her family’s farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business. London has never seemed so far away—until Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest. Secrets are spilled and relationships rejiggered, and as the stakes for Katie’s future get higher, she must question her own assumptions about what makes for a truly meaningful life. Sophie Kinsella is celebrated for her vibrant, relatable characters and her great storytelling gifts. Now she returns with all of the wit, warmth, and wisdom that are the hallmarks of her bestsellers to spin this fresh, modern story about presenting the perfect life when the reality is far from the truth.

Her father has vanished from Los Angeles on a mysterious quest with the husband of Becky’s best friend, Suze. Becky’s mum is hysterical; Suze is flat-out desperate.

Determined to get to the bottom of why her dad has disappeared, help Suze, contain the dreaded Alicia, and reunite her fractured family, Becky knows that she must marshal all her trademark ingenuity. The result: her most outrageous and daring plan yet! But just when her family needs her more than ever, can Becky pull it off?

To unwind from the stress of their wedding, Becky has planned an utterly blissful honeymoon where, for an entire year, they will hop from one country to the next—Italy to the Czech Republic to Sri Lanka and beyond—as they please.

Meet Rebecca Bloomwood. She has a great flat, a fabulous wardrobe full of the season's must-haves, and a job telling other people how to manage their money. She spends her leisure time...shopping. Retail therapy is the answer to all her problems. She knows she should stop, but she can't. She tries Cutting Back, she tries Making More Money. But neither seems to work. The letters from the bank are getting harder to ignore. Can Becky ever escape from this dreamworld, find true love, and regain the use of her credit card? The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic... the perfect pick me up for when it's all hanging in the (bank) balance.

Rebecca har det fantastisk! Hun arbejder i Londons nye stormagasin The Look, hun kigger på hus med sin dejlige mand Luke (og drømmer inderligt om et værelse kun til sko) - og så er hun gravid! Hun kunne ikke være lykkeligere, især ikke da hun opdager, at shopping kurerer morgenkvalme. Og da kun det bedste er godt nok til den lille ny baby, er det vel kun i orden at drømme om indretningsarkitekt til børneværelset og investere i babytøj fra alle de hotte tøjmærker, designerpusletaske og den dyreste must-have barnevogn på markedet (men skal det være den praktiske, sammenklappelige til bilen, off-roaderen, den lækre café eller den med iPod?). Desuden er det magtpåliggende at få fat i den rigtige fødselslæge – hende, alle de kendte går hos. Men da VIP-lægen viser sig at være Lukes smukke, kloge, glamourøse ekskæreste, begynder Rebeccas perfekte verden at smuldre... Hormonerne raser, maven vokser, men man kan aldrig helt planlægge en fødsel eller forberede sig på den nye rolle som mor. Bogen er nr. 5 i serien En Shopaholic. Den engelske forfatter Madeleine Sophie Wickham (f. 1969) er bedst kendt for "Shopaholic"-serien skrevet under pseudonymet Sophie Kinsella. De første to romaner i serien, "En shopaholics hemmelige drømmeverden" og "En shopaholic i New York", er blevet filmatiseret under navnet "Confessions of a Shopaholic" med Isla Fisher i hovedrollen. Madeleine Sophie Wickham har også skrevet bøger under sit rigtige navn.

Het leven is heerlijk, vindt Rebecca Bloomwood. Ze heeft haar schulden afbetaald en carrière gemaakt bij de televisie. Haar nieuwe levensmotto is: koop alleen wat je nodig hebt. Becky is vastbesloten zich daaraan te houden, alhoewel... die nieuwe broek is een noodzaak en die twee paar schoenen pure overmacht. De rekeningen belanden in de la, die kloppen toch niet. Becky heeft nu geen tijd om zich daar mee bezig te houden. Haar vriend Luke gaat voor zaken naar Amerika. En zij mag mee! Op naar de opera en het museum. Maar eerst naar het winkelwalhalla op Fifth Avenue, naar Saks en Bloomingdale's en Prada. Overal is het uitverkoop. Voordat ze het weet is Becky weer veel te ver gegaan. Haar creditcards worden waardeloos en haar relatie met Luke ook. Maar ze probeert nog te redden wat er te redden valt...

Udvider rejser din horisont ... eller bare gælden på kassekreditten? Rebecca Bloomwoods liv er perfekt. Hun giver gode råd om økonomi på et program på morgen-tv, hendes bankrådgiver respekterer hende, og når det drejer sig om at shoppe, er hendes nye motto: Du skal kun købe det, du har brug for! Og hun overholder det (næsten). Sidst men ikke mindst har hun fået tilbudt et job i New York. New York! Museum of Modern Art! Guggenheim! Metropolitan Operaen! Rebecca vil virkelig gerne se det hele. Helt ærligt! Det virker bare lidt dumt ikke at gå et par andre steder hen først. Saks for eksempel. Og Bloomingdale og Barneys. Og de fantastiske steder med lagersalg, hvor man kan købe en Prada-kjole for 10 dollars. Eller er det 100? Rebecca er alt for lykkelig til at tage sig af den slags småting. Bogen er nr. 2 i Shopaholic-serien Den engelske forfatter Madeleine Sophie Wickham (f. 1969) er bedst kendt for "Shopaholic"-serien skrevet under pseudonymet Sophie Kinsella.

Lara Lington has always had an overactive imagination, but suddenly that imagination seems to be in overdrive. Normal professional twenty-something young women don’t get visited by ghosts. Or do they? When the spirit of Lara’s great-aunt Sadie—a feisty, demanding girl with firm ideas about fashion, love, and the right way to dance—mysteriously appears, she has one request: Lara must find a missing necklace that had been in Sadie’s possession for more than seventy-five years, because Sadie cannot rest without it. Lara and Sadie make a hilarious sparring duo, and at first it seems as though they have nothing in common. But as the mission to find Sadie’s necklace leads to intrigue and a new romance for Lara, these very different “twenties” girls learn some surprising truths from and about each other. Written with all the irrepressible charm and humor that have made Sophie Kinsella’s books beloved by millions, Twenties Girl is also a deeply moving testament to the transcendent bonds of friendship and family.

Awakening in the hospital after a car crash believing that she is a single, twenty-five-year-old sales associate, Lexi discovers that she has lost three years in her life and she is married to a handsome millionaire, but her perfect new life soon begins to go awry.
