The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Samantha Sweeting wants one thing in life- to become partner at her prestigious law firm.

She’s worked overtime, birthdays, given up holidays. The partnership is almost hers..until it isn’t,
She makes a major mistake that costs the company millions. Unable to handle seeing her dreams die, Samantha walks out.

She ends up on a train and then in the middle of nowhere. When she stops to ask for directions, she’s mistaken as an interviewee for a housekeeper position. One thing leads to another and Samantha doesn’t correct the error. Instead, she starts working as a housekeeper.

Samantha has absolutely no domestic skills and this is made clear from the very start.

What interested me about this book is that I felt like I could relate to it. With absolute no domestic skills, the first thing I did when I faced a career setback was start cooking. So it was fun to see someone else go through that strange transition.

Like most of Sophie Kinsella’s books, this was a funny read. It really pulled me in and I couldn’t go to sleep until I had finished this book.
I would give it 10 stars if I could because it was that good.

The characters were lively and entertaining, there’s some small town vibes which I always love and of course a hot love interest.
