Sophie Kinsella Week: Why Americans love Sophie Kinsella

Posted By Danielle on September 2nd, 2010

Because Sophie’s novels are set primarily in Britain or at least have a “British-feel” to them we thought it would be great to ask our American readers why they love Sophie Kinsella. Surprising or not, many of our American readers felt just as strongly about her as our International readers. Have a look at what they thought!

“Sophie Kinsella’s books are escapism pure and true. Romance, wit and humor fill the pages and allow the reader to step outside their busy life to experience the quirk and fun.” - Michelle from Galleysmith

“Kinsella’s books are escapist fun but at their core is a big beating heart. Becky Bloomwood’s penchant for getting into trouble often stems from misguided or overly ambitious attempts to do something nice for someone. She’s flawed like most of us but has found a prince in Luke, someone who loves her, quirks and all, making Becky the perfect fantasy figure.” - Elyse from Pop Culture Nerd

“”Likes them because they are true to life.
“The ‘reality’ infused in the stories…especially her work life. Becky is herself no matter where she goes. She doesn’t change her true self for where she is or the time of day or for who she’s with.
“It shows the working world the way it is….phone calls on business time, nosey cubicle neighbors, stressed out coworkers with baggage from home; it gives the naked truth about people….making the characters relateable to all readers. They make you laugh in spite of yourself or at your self depending on the situation.” - Barbara, mom to Gina from Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers
