Publisher Description
The hilarious romantic comedy from NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR Sophie Kinsella
If you suddenly had a friend that only you could see or hear, what would you do?
You could worry that your stressful life has tipped you over the edge and you have lost the plot, big time . . . you could hide under your duvet, hoping that they would go away . . .
Or
You could have some fun . . .
You could make your ex-boyfriend take you back . . .
You could solve the mystery of the dragonfly necklace, make a fool of yourself many times, get your business back on its feet . . .
You could dance with a gorgeous man who just can’t resist you . . .
And you could just discover the best friend you ever had.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Think Topper, that impossibly sophisticated and goofy 1937 ghost tale of blithe spirits bugging the only living soul who can hear them. Kinsella creates an equally vexing and endearing shade, Sadie, a wild-at-heart flapper with unfinished earthly business who badgers 27-year-old great-niece Lara into doing her bidding. Predictable mayhem and the most delicious and delightful romp a ghost and girl-at-loose-ends could ever have in 21st century London ensue. Sadie discovers just how loved she really is, and Lara channels her inner '20s girl to discover the difference between wanting to be in love and finding love. Kinsella, a master of comic pacing and feminine wit (see: the wildly successful Shopaholic series), casts a bigger net with this piece of fun and fluff, weaving family dynamics and an old-fashioned mystery into the familiar chick lit romance. And there's a sweet nod to old folks ("All that white hair and wrinkled skin is just cladding.... They were all young, with love affairs and friends and parties and an endless life ahead of them"). It's a breath of crackling fresh air that may well keep readers warm right through winter.

This book is brilliantly written and beautifully engaging, I couldn't help but keep reading! I felt so engaged in fact that it brought me to tears, which I never thought a book could do. I would definitely recommend reading this, it is a book about love, family, success, deceit and friendship!
