Book Summary
Lara Lington has always had an overactive imagination, but
suddenly that imagination seems to be in overdrive. Normal
professional twenty-something young women don’t get visited
by ghosts. Or do they?
When the spirit of Lara’s
great-aunt Sadie–-a feisty, demanding girl with firm ideas
about fashion, love, and the right way to dance–mysteriously
appears, she has one last request: Lara must find a missing
necklace that had been in Sadie’s possession for more than
seventy-five years, and Sadie cannot rest without it. Lara,
on the other hand, has a number of ongoing distractions. Her
best friend and business partner has run off to Goa, her
start-up company is floundering, and she’s just been dumped
by the “perfect” man.
Sadie, however, could care
less.
Lara and Sadie make a hilarious sparring duo,
and at first it seems as though they have nothing in common.
But as the mission to find Sadie’s necklace leads to
intrigue and a new romance for Lara, these very different
“twenties” girls learn some surprising truths from each
other along the way. Written with all the irrepressible
charm and humor that have made Sophie Kinsella’s books
beloved by millions, Twenties Girl is also a deeply
moving testament to the transcendent bonds of friendship and
family.
