From Amazon ~ 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.
I've enjoyed Kinsella's other books so wanted to like this one. I didn't like Lara ... she was pathetically trying to get her ex-boyfriend, Josh, to go back to her. And Sadie was annoyingly self-centered.
I felt like giving up after a couple chapters but I stuck with with it. I'm glad I did because Lara stopped being so pathetic and Sadie stopped being so annoying and I enjoyed the story.
Compared to Kinsella's other stories, it's fairly deep and not as frivolous, and long (more than 460 pages).
