Synopsis

Poppy Wyatt has never felt luckier. She is about to marry her ideal man, Magnus Tavish, but in one afternoon her “happily ever after” begins to fall apart. Not only has she lost her engagement ring in a hotel fire drill but in the panic that follows, her phone is stolen. As she paces shakily around the lobby, she spots an abandoned phone in a trash can. Finders keepers! Now she can leave a number for the hotel to contact her when they find her ring. Perfect!

Well, perfect except that the phone’s owner, businessman Sam Roxton, doesn’t agree. He wants his phone back and doesn’t appreciate Poppy reading his messages and wading into his personal life.

What ensues is a hilarious and unpredictable turn of events as Poppy and Sam increasingly upend each other’s lives through emails and text messages. As Poppy juggles wedding preparations, mysterious phone calls, and hiding her left hand from Magnus and his parents . . . she soon realizes that she is in for the biggest surprise of her life.

My Thoughts

I really enjoyed this one, definitely more than Can You Keep a Secret? Much of what I felt and thought about Can You Keep a Secret? can be applied to I've Got Your Number.

Poppy Wyatt was a lot of fun but also wild when it came to making decisions - there were moments where I wanted to tell Poppy to stop and think, but honestly I have realised that is part of the fun and rollercoaster ride you go through when you read a Sophie Kinsella book.

I really like how Poppy's character contrasted with Sam's personality but how they actually complemented each other really well. Sam is definitely a swoon-worthy character too and I absolutely adored the texts between the two. Also, Poppy's dislike of confrontations and her tendency to put herself second to everyone else are struggles that many could understand and relate to, which in my case made her more likeable.

Sophie Kinsella knows how to make me laugh especially with all the crazy things that end up happening in the book, it would have to be one of the main reasons I decided to read another one of her books - I was sure that it would leave a smile on my face, and it definitely did.

Favourite Quotes/Moments

"I have a special announcement to make!" I exclaim, hurrying after them. "I am a singing telegram! I bear a message from all Mr Yamasaki's many fans."

The singing telegram scene had me laughing out loud for ages, I couldn't believe what was happening, definitely was not expecting it! 

"But sometimes you have to be brave. Sometimes you have to show people what's important in life." 

#LifeLesson right there

"Lover? I don't know. I don't know if she loves me. I don't know if I love her. All I can say is, she's the one I think about. All the time. She's the voice I want to hear. She's the face I hope to see."

This totally made me melt, no question about that.
