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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

An easy read, with nice relatable characters. The story is quite funny in parts but the ending was very predictable.

Sophie as usual manages to create such fantastic images of all her characters. Not just the main ones. A sheer delight to read and captivating to the end

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.

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!

Der Lebensalltag einer Burnout-Geplagten und ihr humorvoller Charakter sind, wie alle Sophie Kinsella Bücher, toll geschildert. Wie üblich, sind die englischen Originale noch pointierter.

The book was un-put-down-able. One of Sophie Kinsella's eminently readable novels. I was happy that it arrived on time - I was waiting to read it and delivery by Amazon was prompt.
