Poppy Wyatt is about to be married to Magnus Tavish.
These are seriously the names of two of the main characters in this book. An American author could never get away with this. But Sophie Kinsella can pretty much name her characters anything she wants because she is funny. Humor earns a lot with me.
Kinsella has a pretty strict formula for her novels. The main character is usually a well meaning dork. She does something dumb. Hijinks ensue as she tries to cover up for whatever. I'm not complaining. Her books are always great so, by all means, stick with the formula.
In this one, Poppy loses her engagement ring. She also loses her mobile (that's what the English call their cell phones). While frantically searching for both, she sees a woman toss her own phone into the rubbish bin (that's what the English call their trash cans.) She commandeers the phone. She quickly ascertains that the phone belonged to the secretary for a businessman, Sam Roxton. Poppy convinces Sam to let her keep the phone just until her engagement ring is found as she needs to give a contact number to the bazillion people that she has searching for it. He agrees on the condition that she forward all his correspondence.
I think we all know where this is going, right? Take it to the beach to read. You won't be sorry.
