Je poste la couverture de l'édition américaine car c'est celle que je trouve la plus jolie :

Citation :

Part love story, part workplace drama, this sharply observed novel is a witty critique of the false judgments we make in a social-media-obsessed world. New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella has written her most timely novel yet.

Everywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Katie’s life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle—from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she’s trying to negotiate. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud.

Then, just as she’s finding her feet—not to mention a possible new romance—the worst happens. Demeter fires Katie. Shattered but determined to stay positive, Katie retreats to her family’s farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business. London has never seemed so far away—until Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest. Secrets are spilled and relationships rejiggered, and as the stakes for Katie’s future get higher, she must question her own assumptions about what makes for a truly meaningful life.

Sophie Kinsella is celebrated for her vibrant, relatable characters and her great storytelling gifts. Now she returns with all of the wit, warmth, and wisdom that are the hallmarks of her bestsellers to spin this fresh, modern story about presenting the perfect life when the reality is far from the truth.

J'ai passé un bon moment avec ce roman qui a su bien mettre au premier plan le côté négatif et parfois faux des réseaux sociaux.

Je l'ai lu également et j'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé. Je boudais un peu Sophie Kinsella à cause de la série de l'accro du shopping qui m'a lassée mais là j'ai eu une belle surprise. Un bon roman feel good à mon sens. Je préfère nettement l'expression roman feel good à chick lit.

Le livre sort en poche le 3 mai.
