Surprise Me by Sophie Kinsella

When it comes to reading, i’m not typically one to speculate what is going to happen next. Unless it’s super obvious, I let the author take me there. That said, I would have been a little annoyed if I read a predictable book entitled “Surprise Me.” Fortunately, Sophie Kinsella did not disappoint.
