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?

Hysterical book! Sophie kinsella is the queen of writing lovable, silly characters whom you are just rooting for. A must read!
could not get interesred in it.
It’s a fun, enjoyable book to read.
Just plain fun to read.
I loved this book! I couldn’t put it down! Very entertaining! The characters were exceptional.
My recommendation is: keep on reading because the plots become very interesting.It is a very clever book. At one point it is close to becoming slap-stick since she is so totally lacking in anything having to do with cooking etc. but yes keep on reading.
Funny and unexpected. Great characters that made me hopeful – anyone can do anything!
Love Mrs. Pollifax. It’s been years since I read any of Mrs. P’s adventures- they are a fun, light read. Old-fashioned but still entertaining.
This was a fun book and good for vacation reading. Enjoyed it very much.
Easy read, no surprises
Absolutely hysterically funny!!! The scene where she applies, unknowingly, for a housekeeping job made me laugh until I cried!!! Fast-paced and very entertaining! I think the best of all the Kinsella books I’ve read so far!!
An enjoyable easy beach read

Love all her books. The Shopaholic series was my favorite.
If you’ve had a stressful week and you’re looking for a feel good book to just crash and forget about everything, this does the trick. Fun and funny. I could see this as a great chick flick!
