I loved this book. I fell in love with Sophie Kinsella years ago when she introduced me to Becky Bloomwood. I have been a Shopaholic fan since my teens. Sophie never fails me with her witty humour and the realistic disasters that her characters find themselves in. Poppy Wyatt is geared up to marry her dream man. But a week before the wedding the unthinkable happens. She loses her engagement ring! Yes the priceless family heirloom. How is she suppose to break this to her intimidating in-laws?? In addition to the missing ring her cell has been stolen. But a ray of light shines when she finds a cell in the bin of a hotel lobby. Thus begining the hilarious and heartwarming story of phone sharing and self acceptance. I dont' want to give too much away but lets just say out of the two men in Poppy's life it wasn't hard to see which one was a dick. And as a once insecure daughter in-law I know how hard it can be to accept people at face value and be comfortable in your own skin.

Is this a stand alone book?? Yes a person could read this without reading the first book. I saw on other reviews that some people were confused thinking there were TWO bosses. NO if you read very carefully Jenny states that Caitlyn is her boss before referring to her as boss. AND she only does it 1-2x tops out of the entire book so I'm not sure how this confused people. But moving forward. Even though this was sold as a stand alone book as a person who did in fact read the first book it was somewhat disapointing. I wanted to know the Boss's POV and I wanted more Stacy! I wanted the reception and honeymoon or at least reference to such. Also I saw many typos or inconsistances. Dimitri's last name was changed. O.S.F. is now O.S.I. Why?? Stacy went from a college graduate who was a ditzy Real Estate agent to a Pre Law student?! I understand a lot can change in two years but what's up with all that???? Despite those minor details it was an okay story however I felt like towards the end sex was used a filler.AND we were given more history on the hero then the heroine and there was no pov or reasoning for his drastic actions towards the end or her response. I would have liked to have known more of their emotions or thought processes leading up to the ending. It's NOT a bad book, just not as well written as other books by Mary Janice Davidson.
