The Undomestic Goddess

Happy new year everybody. It's time for another review from our teen summer reading competition. This ones a bit of chick lit, perfect for summer reading;

The Undomestic Goddess
Sophie Kinsella

Samantha is a high powered lawyer that is on the verge of being offered a partnership with her company until the most unfortunate thing happens, she loses her company $160 million dollars because she didn’t notice a note. She rushes to the bus station in shock and gets on a bus heading towards a small township. Trish greets her and thinks she is the new housekeeper. Unfortunately for Samantha, she doesn’t know the first thing about cooking or cleaning. Everything is great until she realizes that she had been set up.
This is a hugely hilarious book about Samantha and keeping her secret of being a top lawyer, it all goes fine until the press find out where she is and what she is now doing. To find out whether she keeps her job as a housekeeper or goes back to London you will have to read The Undomestic Goddess.
Samantha is a twitchy, jumpy person when she is in London, but when she is a housekeeper she becomes a happier, freer person. You wouldn’t want to work in the live of a person whos life is spilt up into 6 minute segments. Throughout this book as Samantha comes to understand what a different lifestyle is available you come to understand how horrid her old job was, Samantha also becomes a happier, freer person.
I would recommend this book to any girl who likes a light reading book that is a comedy and slightly romantic. It is a good book to read on a wet and cold day inside out of the weather.
