Review of 'My not so perfect life' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
3+: Now, this was a good fluffy read—predictable, but fun! There are parallels to The Devil Wears Prada.
"When Katie Brenner is fired from her dream job in advertising in London, she's desperate to get away from her mad boss Demeter, and her crush, Alex, who she thought shared her feelings of adoration but didn't. Seeking refuge, she goes home to her father's farm in Somerset to help make her stepmother's dream of turning their land into a glamping retreat come true. Applying her savvy marketing smarts, Katie masterminds a glamorous upscale resort. But when Demeter shows up unannounced, with Alex not far behind, Katie is forced to rethink her revenge fantasies and her assumptions about family, love, and office politics and realize how much she may have misjudged everyone--and everything--around her"--

Did not expect myself to like Kinsella, and chick lit is not my usual genre, but oh my, this book is timely and perfect. I recall reading that being exposed to the images of happy life on social media can be a cause of depression - "Everyone except me seems to have their life together!". Only, everybody is choosing only the bright and shiny moments to share, and in reality no life is charmed.
