Sophie Kinsella has made me laugh out loud ever since I first read Confessions of a Shopaholic. My husband always knows when I'm reading one of her books because I simply can't stifle my giggles. Surprise Me definitely had me in stitches.
Dan and Sylvie are celebrating 10 years together. Their marriage is one for the books. They finish each other's sentences, can communicate without even speakings and have two beautiful twin daughters. How could life get any better? Things take a slight turn when during a routine physical for life insurance, they receive the news that their health is so excellent, they should have 68 more years of wedded bliss. Dan and Sylvie never really thought about it like that and it isn't long until they begin overthinking those long 68 years together. Sylvie vows to keep things interesting by instituting Project Surprise Me so that their lives together will never get boring. Well, boring it is not! The various mishaps and events that occur are truly laugh out loud funny.
At the heart of the Surprise Me though is a beautiful story of love and personal growth. I love how Sophie Kinsella can create these hilarious relatable characters that show true heart as well. This one really is worth the read because not only will it make you laugh, it will warm your heart as well and we all need a little of that.
