| Chick Lit Books: Unpredictable |
|---|
When Sophie Kintock is caught hiding underneath the laundry bags in her ex-boyfriends apartment building, she has no idea the drastic turn her life is about to take.
Scorned by her love of six years, and just when she thought they were about to walk down the aisle, Sophie begins "Operation Drive Him Home" which consists of moving Doug's parked car over a few spaces and stealing one out of each sock pair in the dryer. Her hopes are that he will realize how crazy his life is without her and come directly home.
Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. Doug ends up meeting Melanie leaving Sophie on her own trying to figure out how to win back the love of her life.
After several botched attempts, all made better with the help of ice cream and her unfailingly supportive best friend Jane, Sophie realizes that she has to do something really, really big if she wants Doug back. This leads to the invented personality, Emma Lulak, gifted psychic and instant radio celebrity. With the help of her cute but dorky friend Nick, Sophie gets more than she bargained for as she "predicts" her way back to love.

Move over Bridget Jones and Rebecca Bloomwood! Sophie Kintock is the new leading lady of witty, female fiction!
Getting into impossibly embarrassing situations isn't the only reason you'll fall right in love with Sophie. Her eternal innocence and naivete set her apart from the cynics of the world. Sure she isn't a psychic. Sure she's stalking her ex. Sure she's ruining Melanie's life. And sure she is blindly ignoring true love, but not because she's a bad person. Sophie is simply the kind of girl that just "doesn't get it." That's what makes her so lovable.
This book is fast-paced and easy to read. I sat down to read it and found myself heading towards the final pages within a few hours. I never once looked at the clock or felt bored. In a world of very dramatic storylines, Unpredictable is refreshing, funny, and carefree. The guy gets the girl and the girl gets the guy. You'll finish with a smile on your lips and hope in your heart.
Looks like Vancouver is the next New York or London for endearing female heroines!
