Katie Brenner aims to live the perfect life in London. She has a long commute into work each day as she can only afford to live in a small, shared, rented flat which is miles from her office. She budgets very carefully as money is tight and life in London is expensive.
Just after she is suddenly and very unexpectedly fired from her job, she is asked to go back to her family home in Somerset for a couple of weeks to help her dad and step mum who are setting up a glamping holiday village on their farm.
When Demeter, Katie's old boss, turns up on the farm with her family for a holiday Katie can't resist the chance to get her own back on Demeter for treating her badly and shattering her dreams. Demeter always seemed to have the perfect family and live the perfect life, but as Katie gets to see more of her she realises that this may not be true and she and Demeter may actually have more in common than she thought.
This is an interesting and fun story. I have read quite a few Sophie Kinsella books, most, but not all, in the Shopaholic series and also 'The Undomestic Goddess', and 'Remember Me?'. I have also read numerous books by Madeline Wickham (the real name of Sophie Kinsella). I have 'Can you Keep a Secret?', 'I've Got Your Number' and 'Twenties Girl' on my bookshelf.
