Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable. She’s made a mistake so huge, it’ll wreck any chance of a partnership. Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she’s mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as housekeeper. … housekeeper. Her employers have no idea they’ve hired a lawyer–and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. She can’t sew on a button, bake a potato, or get the #@%# ironing board to open. How she takes a deep breath and begins to cope–and finds love–is a story as delicious as the bread she learns to bake.
But will her old life ever catch up with her? And if it does…will she want it back?

Laughed till I cried!
Long read. I’m wasn’t as funny as the previous reviews said. I was getting stressed reading about Samantha’s stress. Torturous read.
I’m a fan of Sophie Kinsella ,her standalones moreso than the Shopaholic series. Undomestic Goddess is a fun romantic comedy which makes housework seem fun. Almost!
Highly recommend this if you haven’t read any Kinsella books yet.
The sad tale of many people in my age group: no domestic skills at all. Even the ones that would be considered basic survival are challenging.
