"Struggling Londoner gets the shock of a lifetime when the meddlesome ghost of a recently deceased relative haunts her.Between relationship woes, work dramas and the day-to-day life of a city gal, Lara could probably be excused for having minimal contact with Great-Aunt Sadie during the last years of her life. The woman was, after all, 105 and confined to a nursing home. Still, Lara feels guilty when hardly anyone shows up to the old lady's funeral. Her sadness quickly gives way to confusion, though, as first the voice and then the form of a 1920s flapper appear before her. It's Sadie in her youth, and Lara is the only one she can communicate with directly. Opinionated, loud and self-absorbed, Sadie is primarily interested in retrieving a lost necklace before moving on to her final rest, but she's also determined to squeeze in a bit more action. To this end she sets her sights on a handsome young American named Ed who reminds her of Rudolph Valentino. Using her supernatural powers, Sadie gets into Ed's head and convinces him to ask out Lara, who is still hung up on her ex, the unworthy Josh. This results in an understandably awkward first date during which Sadie dictates, Cyrano-style, what Lara should do to seduce Ed. Lara, for her part, gets a lead on the missing piece of jewelry and uncovers Sadie's tragic past as an artist's muse, unjustly separated from the only man she really loved. In spite of their differences (the whole living vs. dead thing) the two grow close, and Lara takes some steps in her personal and professional life that she probably would not have taken without the freewheeling flapper by her side."

I got that from GOOGLE BOOKS. :)

anyway, this book is another by Sophie Kinsella, who's famous for her Shopaholic series along with the other string of novels which crowned her a heavyweight in the 'chic lit' genre. Twenties Girl is just as fun as the rest. As you have read from the synopsis above, this book is a bit "out there" but it is nevertheless a good read. I was literally laughing out loud into the first chapter. Sophie Kinsella can make such simple scenes in life side-achingly funny. I recommend this book for days when you're completely bored or just down because it should at least lift your spirits by a notch.

The story is not just funny but has an actual "mystery" plot behind it. The final revelation is satisfying as well as the build up. Lara grows throughout the book though her kookiness still remains. Its nice to see a character gain 'independence' of sorts which is rare in most books.

So yes, pick up this book anytime. You probably won't regret it.

My rating for this book: 8 out of 10
