The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella

Sasha has reached her limit. She can no longer keep up with the emails, the workload, the exasperating demands that her boss keeps piling on with unrealistic expectations because of their absurdly short staffing. When she tries to express this to his brother, the founder of the company, she is so rudely ignored that her anger drives her to a breakdown of sorts. Within days, she finds herself “getting away from it all” to a beach resort that does not exactly measure up to her memory of what it had been in her youth. But she rises above, goes with the flow, as they say, and she finds that ultimately, she is able to find her way to being more honest both with others and with herself about what she needs to be happy and fulfilled.

This story is one of those lighthearted indulgences that you take with you on a vacation and read with pure pleasure. There is no work to it, there is no deep thought – it is just good, clean fun. Sophie Kinsella is reliable for this – for sweet, charming characters that will soften your heart and make you giggle and give you a chance to escape from our crazy world for just a bit. We know where the story will ultimately lead and we know it will all be ok – and sometimes, we just NEED to know that it will all be ok.

A delightful escape novel for those looking for one…!
