The thoughts are expressed in a storytelling that makes you feel whatever the character is feeling. It's a big step in life one has to take to fulfill his/herself and the character took a plunge. I read it in one sitting, I just couldn't put it down! ( )Probably my favorite of all Kinsella's stand alone novels, centers on a woman that must play a domestic for a rich couple, wherein she really knows next to nothing about that sort of work. Why does she pose for this kind of work? She's afraid that she's made the world's biggest blunder of her professional career and must hide out until she can figure out how to handle it. Such a fun book to read, and one I highly recommend. I didn’t love Confessions of a Shopaholic, but I wasn’t turned off of Kinsella as a author. The Undomestic Goddess sounded like a fun read and it was. I enjoyed Samantha Sweeting so much more than Becky Bloomwood, but that’s just me. It’s the same basic chick lit plot, but I think where I was pulled in is when Samantha runs away and starts living. I know when things seem to be melting down all around me that’s what I want to do. Of course, there’s the classic “Am I going to get caught?” and the silliness of Sam not knowing how to use a washing machine (does she get her underwear dry cleaned too?), but where the realism is for me is her growth. She grows from being so concerned with success as a lawyer and pleases everyone to enjoying life, making real friends, and having a moment to herself. She begins to appreciate life and living. Plus, I loved the romance aspect. It was a fun, quick (just a few hours), and entertaining read. After this I think I’m going to give Becky Bloomwood another try…maybe the rest of the Shopaholic series will grow on me. Maybe. This was an a great book to read. Quite funny especially when you get more into the chapters when she becomes a maid. There are some really funny scenes and boy do they make you laugh. Career women realises the error of her work-aholic life style and packs it all in to be become a house keeper. I like some of the one liners and the humour but it was just too predictable and cliched. Think maybe this is just not my kind of book no reviews | add a review
