Kinsella is a master at writing novels that make you feel like you should be reading them on a beach somewhere, without a care in the world. Her most recent work, I've Got Your Number, is no exception. Her main character Poppy is lighthearted and the "footnotes" she adds in throughout the book often brought out a giggle. Although the plot line is totally and completely a little implausible (two people sharing a cell phone & their e-mails), it makes for interesting relationship development. When you're not sitting face to face, is it possible for one to be more open & brave, while getting to know a total stranger? That is the concept that Kinsella explores, with plenty of humor and winning characters in Poppy & Sam. The one negative is that I have a difficult time reading when I feel like characters make ridiculous decisions (e.g. sending a company e-mail under someone else's name, in an effort to "help" them at work). All in all, an enjoyable, and light, read.
