„Sophie Kinsella” – książki

Sophie Kinsella zagościła na brytyjskich listach bestsellerów dzięki swojej pierwszej książce, będącej podstawą kasowego filmu pt. Wyznania zakupoholiczki. Książka Spójrz mi w oczy, Audrey to jej pierwsza powieść dla młodych czytelników. 14-letnia Audrey cierpi na zaburzenia lękowe. Nie chodzi do szkoły, rzadko opuszcza dom, nosi ciągle ciemne okulary. Terapia przynosi powolne postępy, ale nabiera tempa, gdy Audrey poznaje Linusa, kolegę jej starszego brata. Za pomocą przyjacielskiego uśmiechu i zabawnych liścików Linus zaczyna wywabiać ją do normalnego życia ? no, w każdym razie najpierw do Starbucksa, ale to dobry początek! Czy odnalezienie prawdziwej przyjaźni może rzeczywiście zdziałać terapeutyczne cuda? Autorka z niezaprzeczalnym literackim wdziękiem i zmysłem bystrego obserwatora komicznych wypadków życiowych opowiada historię uczucia, które może leczyć rany i koić czytelnicze zmysły.

I love you . . . but what if I can't love your life? Ava is sick of online dating. She's always trusted her own instincts over an algorithm, anyway, and she wants a break from it all. So when she signs up to a semi-silent, anonymous writing retreat in glorious Italy, love is the last thing on her mind. Until she meets a handsome stranger. . . All she knows is that he's funny, he's kind and - she soon learns - he's great in bed. He's equally smitten, and after a whirlwind, intoxicating affair, they pledge their love without even knowing each other's real names. But when they return home, reality hits. They're both driven mad by each other's weird quirks and annoying habits, from his eccentric, naked-sauna-loving family to her terribly behaved, shirt-shredding dog. As disaster follows disaster, it seems that while they love each other, they just can't love each other's lives. Can they overcome their differences to find one life, together?

Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) adores Christmas. It's always the same ? Mum and Dad hosting, carols playing, Mum pretending she made the Christmas pudding, and the next-door neighbours coming round for sherry in their terrible festive jumpers. And now it's even easier with online bargain-shopping sites ? if you spend enough you even get free delivery. Sorted! But this year looks set to be different. Unable to resist the draw of craft beer and smashed avocado, Becky's parents are moving to ultra-trendy Shoreditch and have asked Becky if she'll host Christmas this year. What could possibly go wrong? With sister Jess demanding a vegan turkey, husband Luke determined that he just wants aftershave again,, and little Minnie insisting on a very specific picnic hamper ? surely Becky can manage all this, as well as the surprise appearance of an old boyfriend and his pushy new girlfriend, whose motives are far from clear . . . Will chaos ensue, or will Becky manage to bring comfort and joy to Christmas?
