Text Message Relationships

Ok, so, we all know it was unlikely to take me long to read a book by Sophie Kinsella. She's the author I go to for feel good reads. Kinsella always finds a way to make me laugh. One of my favorites by her is Remember Me?, which is entertaining and everyone should read!

One of the things I really enjoy about I've Got Your Number is how easily I can relate to Poppy. Not in the sense that I am having a romance blossom from stealing a phone, but because when she's with Magnus and his family she feels inferior. I've got friends and acquaintances who make me feel the same. I rooted for Poppy when she finally had the nerve to stand up to Wanda. The ultimate fall out was a bit expected after watching things with Sam play out.

The relationship between Poppy and Sam was fun. I laughed when Poppy went through and acted as Sam through his email, knowing in fiction she could get away with it while real life, not so much. Poppy's intentions were from a great place, but still made some situations awkward for Sam. It was fun seeing Sam's reactions when she finally had to own up to what she'd done.

I think I enjoyed most the conversations Poppy had with Sam when they were not passing messages back and forth for Sam's job. She could be real with Sam in a way she didn't feel real with Magnus. Sam was able to relate to her in ways he had a hard time admitting to. Plus, Sam was a bit adorable when he admitted he started life as an analyst.

All in all, I enjoyed I've Got Your Number.
