Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella

Sophie Kinsella follows her tried and true formula for Chic-Lit with a fresh novel, called Twenties Girl. this book tells the story of Lara Lington, who finds herself suddenly haunted by a little known great-aunt, Sadie, who recently passed away.

Great-Aunt Sadie’s ghost acts as both guardian angel and tormentor to Lara, helping her to launch her sinking business career, get over her deadbeat ex-boyfriend, and hooking her up with a shiny new (and unsurprisingly perfect) man.

Great Aunt Sadie goes on to help solve some previously unsuspected family mysteries. In the end this previously overlooked and often ignored dead relative manages to touch everyone in the family posthumously.

This book was comforting in its predictability. No surprises, no shocking plot twists, just straight up chic-lit.

Formulaic chick-lit, high twenties influenced romantic mystery ghost story
