***********

Discover the joy that awaits when you set yourself free...

Sasha is well and truly over it all: work (all-consuming), friendships (on the back burner), sex-life (non-existent).

Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga and find solitude, she heads to the Devon resort she loved as a child. But it's off-season, the hotel is falling apart and she has to share the beach with a grumpy, stressed-out guy called Finn.

How can she commune with nature when he's sitting on a rock, watching her suspiciously? Especially when they don't agree on burnout cures. (Sasha: manifesting, wild swimming, secret Mars bars; Finn: drinking whisky.)

But when curious messages start appearing on the beach, Sasha and Finn are forced to begin talking – about everything. What's the mystery? Why are they both burned out? And what exactly is 'manifesting', anyway?

They might discover that they have more in common than they think. . .

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read.

P.F. · 19 November 2024

After dumping a "bestseller" and "unputdownable" load of rubbish, I was in need of reading therapy; something witty, polished, moving, uplifting, and most importantly something well written. The Burnout was the perfect choice. It's been a while since i read the Shopaholic series, and I wondered if Kinsella still had it. Oh YES! This is joyful, poignant, hysterical, quirky and emotional. The characters are fabulous - Cassidy is such a wonderful creation, but so are all the people who bring a cery straightforward idea alive. Books don't have to be oh so clever to be deep and The Burnout proves that point in spades. Skilfully plotted and planned, a beautifully judged balance of humour and drama, this was the perfect book to reassure me that reading could be obe if life's great pleasures. Thank you Sophie Kinsella.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant

T. · 9 September 2024

I'm a long time fan of Sophie Kinsella but had not read her books for some years. This was a welcome return and an excellent read. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, humour and romance of the story, a real page turner.

5.0 out of 5 stars It grew on me.....

E. · 15 October 2024

I thought it started out a bit silly but half way through the story really picked up and I enjoyed the book. Great characters. Tiny bit predictable in places but a fun, light read.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK!

A.C. · 30 September 2024

I felt it was a good read but wasn't as funny as Sophie Kinsella's previous books. For me, it felt a bit long-winded and drawn out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read!

T.B. · 4 January 2025

I tried a sample of this book on my Kindle and was immediately drawn into it. Some of these novels can be quite predictable, but this had enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. The characters were brilliant and they developed perfectly. I really did get a vision in my head of Rilston Bay and the hotel, as though I had actually been there.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Sophie Kinsella and this genre. It is the best book I have read recently and I will miss it!

4.0 out of 5 stars reading for recovery

D. · 23 November 2024

I read this whilst recovering from surgery - it's a great light read, with parts that are laugh out loud funny & also parts that are surprisingly touching. I'd definitely recommend, especially for anyone who has grown up taking a holiday on the UK coast.

5.0 out of 5 stars A definite must read

d.h. · 22 December 2024

I found it hard to put this book down. It pulls you in from the very first page and has you hooked. I cried, I laughed and I held my breath in anticipation. A real feel good, heart warming book. Kinsella paces the plot well and keeps you guessing. The characters are loveable andrelatable. It isn't predictable and the twists and turns make it well worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I read in 2024!

R. · 5 January 2025

I bought this when it came out and it was the best book I read in 2024 (only now getting around to reviewing) it was so relatable and funny and I found it hard to put it down. I couldn’t recommend this book enough!

I felt every emotion…

L.M. · 28 September 2024

I absolutely adore the way Sophie Kinsella writes. Her dialogue, character development, story arc, and small details she threads in each chapter captivates me as a reader.I highly recommend the audiobook companion, too. The acting adds a depth to the characters and narrative.I felt every emotion throughout this novel — I got teary-eyed, I laughed out loud, my heart ache, I was annoyed, I was in love.Sophie’s signature surprises make an appearance in the most heartwarming of ways.

Loved this book

T. · 3 August 2024

Super easy to get into and read. The story is captivating. Great vacation/beach read. Light and funny.

Um romance que garante boas gargalhadas!

T. · 2 March 2024

Uma das características que eu mais aprecio nos livros da autora é o humor, que não é forçado e consegue divertir e fazer qualquer leitor dar boas risadas.Esse não é diferente.O tema central do enredo é sério e até um pouco tenso, já que a personagem principal acaba de passar por uma estafa física e mental originada pelo trabalho e volta ao local em que passava férias na infância para se recuperar.No entanto, tudo é abordado de forma leve e muito realista, com algumas passagens tristes, outras muito engraçadas e até emocionantes.Além disso, há a construção gradativa de uma amizade entre duas pessoas que se ajudam mutuamente na superação, que se torna um lindo romance.Ótima história!

Super Buch
