Poppy Wyatt has never felt luckier. She is about to marry her ideal man, Magnus Tavish, but in one afternoon her “happily ever after” begins to fall apart. Not only has she lost her engagement ring in a hotel fire drill but in the panic that follows, her phone is stolen. As she paces shakily around the lobby, she spots an abandoned phone in a trash can. Finders keepers! Now she can leave a number for the hotel to contact her when they find her ring. Perfect!
Well, perfect except that the phone’s owner, businessman Sam Roxton, doesn’t agree. He wants his phone back and doesn’t appreciate Poppy reading his messages and wading into his personal life.
What ensues is a hilarious and unpredictable turn of events as Poppy and Sam increasingly upend each other’s lives through emails and text messages. As Poppy juggles wedding preparations, mysterious phone calls, and hiding her left hand from Magnus and his parents . . . she soon realizes that she is in for the biggest surprise of her life.
Review:
If I could describe this book in a single sentence, it would be
"Sugar and spice and everything nice."
This book has to be Kinsella's best so far.
Poppy Wyatt is our typical Kinsella heroine. She is cute, funny, intelligent yet insecure. On the day her future (and scary) in-laws are coming to town, she ends up losing her engagement ring which had been in their family for generations and that's not it. Her phone gets stolen too. Now how will the hotel staff contact her in case they find the ring?

Not really.
It turns out that it was a company phone belonging to Sam Roxton, a big shot at White Globe Consulting and he is not okay with her having it and prying in her life.
But then, thankfully, they agree on a phone-sharing agreement and what follows suit is hilarious. I love the kind of situations the author put Poppy through, especially two them. One involved Beyonce's Single Ladies and the other one involved a fake engagement ring. ROFL.
Sam is amazing, grounded,sensible, hardworking yet (like most of the guys, i guess) not very emotional. Poppy and he totally complement each other. Their scenes together are heartwarming.
Both of them had their own lives. Poppy was busy with her wedding prep and Sam was busy with his office politics. This is a story of how their lives interwined through texts and emails and how they ended up helping each other.
And who does Poppy end up with: Magnus (fiance extraordinaire) or Sam?

I kinda wish I could live this book. One of my favourite chick lit till date :')
