    About this audiobook

    I've lost it. :( The only thing in the world I wasn't supposed to lose. My engagement ring. It's been in Magnus's family for three generations. And now the very same day his parents are coming, I've lost it. The very same day! Do not hyperventilate, Poppy. Stay positive :) !!

    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.

      Originally posted at The Wandering Fangirl.This was my first Sophie Kinsella novel (I know, right?) and I found incredibly pleasing in a Hits The Right Chick Lit Spot kinda way. For something that required nothing but a minor investment in the characters, it was a lot of fun. The main character, Poppy, was a little too much at times (when she starts meddling, oh God, just stop and think for a second, girl) and parts of the plot wrapped up a little too neatly to make things easy for her -- not to mention the big climax that was totally written with a movie scene in mind. I see what you did there, Sophie.
    • 4/5
      I absolutely love Sophie Kinsella. Her books are so entertaining and they make me smile. I decided to listen to this one and again Jayne Entwistle reads this one. She does a fantastic job making Poppy come to life. I didn't want Poppy and Sam to leave my life. I was sad once the book was done. Poppy's phone is stolen after her engagement ring goes missing and she finds a cell phone in the trash. It's Sam's PA's phone. That's when the relationship starts. This is a great beach read and a great book to listen to while driving to work. I can't wait for another Sophie book.
    • 5/5
      Poppy should be be the happiest woman on earth, having just gotten engaged. But her happiness turns to panic when she loses the antique family engagement ring at a restaurant. She is using her cell phone to try to track it down, when the cell is snatched from her hand. But in a stroke of good luck, finally, she finds a cell that has been tossed in a bin. She claims it as her own, but it is a business phone, and she soon finds herself texting with Sam, an official at the company. She won’t give the phone back, claiming she needs it, but she promises to be his unofficial assistant and sends on his texts. Poppy’s life is about to be complicated in ways she can’t even imagine. Sophie Kinsella has given her readers a delightful and humorous tale of love gone awry. Peopled with quirky characters in a somewhat convoluted plot, she keeps her readers guessing the outcome until the very end. This audio version was made even better by the excellent performance of Jayne Entwistle.
    • 2/5
      Well this might be a British author, but NEVER British Literature.....

      Well, I've certainly got her number.... what unmitigated schlock! Why are all her heroines gormless twits? How do they ever end up w/ any man? And you know I only read this for the 10 points the cover gave me!

      Poppy is engaged to Mangus (an Academic with ever higher Academic parents). Poppy loses her antique (family heirloom) engagement ring, someone bumps her & steals her phone, and then she finds a phone in the bin. The phone belonged to Violet who has just chucked her PA position to Sam. Sam & Poppy make a deal, she can keep the phone as long as she forwards all of Sam's e-mails to him........
    • 4/5
      Poppy's engagement ring goes missing and her phone is stolen in one night. As luck has it, she finds another phone in a trash can and so the story begins.

      Sophie Kinsella's books are fun, quick reads and this one is no exception. Think rom-com in book form; I'd be surprised if it didn't get the Hollywood treatment.
    • 4/5
      Reread October 2014. Still fantastic.

      Original review (March 2012): Love, love, love Sophie Kinsella's writing. My favourite of her standalone novels are still Twenties Girl and Can You Keep A Secret - but - the love story in this one may be my favourite. Sam is such a great foil for Poppy. The plot starts to creak as Kinsella strains credulity in order to maintain the appropriate levels of misunderstanding, but her effervescent writing style wins out. Heartily recommended!

      I absolutely loved this book, I couldn't put it down,I read it in 2 days. It usually takes me a long time to read a book
    • 5/5
      I think this is probably the best Sophie Kinsella book that I have read.Poppy Wyatt has lost her engagement ring which just happens to be a priceless family heirloom and is having a mental breakdown as if things cant get any worse her phone is stolen. However she finds a company mobile phone in a bin which leads her talking to the owner of the phone.I found Poppy a very likeable, believable character, Sam I found was a very frustrating but I think that was how he was supposed to be portrayed.This book brought out several emotions, sadness, shock (I actually gasped) happiness and laughter.I literally read this book in 24 hours, when I put the book down all i could think about was what was going to happen next. I thought it was going to a predictable but it had twists that kept me wanting more. I don't think there was anything that I didn't like about the bookI don't usually write reviews as I am not very good at them, but I loved the book so much I had to tell you all.I wuld definitely recommend this book to any one that likes chick-lit and has read any other Sophie Kinsella books.
    • 4/5
      Easy fun read
    • 3/5
      Cute book. Quick read. You know how it will end but getting to the end is a fun ride.
    • 5/5
      A really good romance novel. It has the same problems as many romance novels. Poppy Wyatt, the main female character, is too unsure of herself and a bit ditsy. Sam Roxton, the male lead, is too masculine and secretive. And while there was some unexpected parts of the plot, much of the plot was predictable. But even given all of that, it was a great book. I really liked the main characters despite their flaws. The writing was great. Would definitely recommend it for fun, light reading.
    • 4/5
      Great fast read. Very contemporary w/ text and email.
    • 5/5
      Loved, loved, loved this book! It might even be better than Can You Keep a Secret?, the Sophie Kinsella book that used to be my favorite...or maybe they'll just have to share first place. ;-) (Jack Harper or Sam Roxton? Honestly, making one choose would just be cruel!) Just when I thought I had this one figured out, another plot twist got thrown into the mix and I was left scrambling, just like poor Poppy. I kept looking for things to do so I could keep listening to this one...only now I'm done, and there's no new Sophie Kinsella books to read....
    • 2/5
      Fun story but way too much language.
    • 4/5
      Read on February 02, 2012I know when I pick up a Sophie Kinsella that it's going to be a good book. I've never been disappointed. She's a great writer with fun, quirky female leads. And thank the chick lit powers-that-be that Poppy doesn't work in publishing or "finance"! I highly recommend this book if you're sick in bed. You should also have tea while you're at it.
    • 4/5
      I really liked the character of Poppy Wyatt and I grew to like her even more as the novel went on. It's all too easy to fall into the pattern of pleasing people and losing sight of what you actually want or need. It was fun to see Poppy take back her life - and the bit of romance was quite fun as well. And I love the British atmosphere ...
    • 4/5
      **spoiler alert** All of Sophie Kinsella's books revolve around the same type of protagonist - a British female in her 20-30's who is fairly quirky with a very active imagination (which is often put to use concocting elaborate stories to defend herself against some mishap she's gotten herself into, to which she doesn't want to own up). Though they also have an immature and an almost uneducated way of speaking, they're college graduates - and generally (either through merit or luck) have a pretty decent or otherwise cool job.If you like one of her books, you're going to like them all. Poppy, the protagonist of this book, is out having dinner at a hotel with her friends where she loses both her engagement ring and her cell phone (as if just one of those wouldn't be bad enough!). She doesn't want her fiance to know that she lost the ring, so she gives her cell phone number - instead of her house number (do people even have "house phones" anymore?) - to the hotel staff. Of course, soon after this, her cell phone is stolen.Fortunately, at that moment, she finds a cell phone in the trash ("finders keepers") - and decides to use it for a replacement, giving the number out to the hotel staff and all of her friends. As it turns out, the cell phone belonged to the assistant of a busy public relations exec, but he allows her to keep the phone temporarily - as long as she promises to forward all of his e-mails and messages to him. Of course, as she is also unable to mind her own business (another common trait of Kinsella's protagonists), she finds herself reading all of his correspondences and reaching her own conclusions about his personality.Obviously, this book is more about the story between Sam (the PR exec) and Poppy than it is about Poppy and her fiance. Through this strange predicament they've found themselves in, it gives them a unique and stress-free way of getting to know one another without even intending to do so. The two spend the majority of the book conversing through text messages - sometimes silly and sometimes serious.One new aspect to this book (as opposed to Kinsella's other books) was Kinsella's use of "footnotes" - which Poppy found fascinating thanks to her fiance's family's (scholarly types) frequent references to footnotes. Under the assumption that it will make her seem intelligent, she decides to use them throughout the book. As I was reading I've Got Your Number in e-book format, the footnotes were easy enough to flip through (all you have to do is tap the number and it takes you right to the corresponding footnote at the end of the chapter) and, although some most of the footnotes were pointless, they were clearly a comic relief (not that this book really needed it - the entire book is essentially comic relief to the dramatized life Poppy lives).That same attitude towards her future in-laws is also a point of dissension, given that the story is supposedly being told from Poppy's point of view. She [Poppy] makes a point of telling the reader that she doesn't really know anything about the topics her fiance and his family discuss and, when they ask her questions, she bemoans that she needs a dictionary to know what they're talking about. Yet, interspersed throughout the book, Poppy uses words like "tetchily," "rictus," "riposte," and "anodyne". Clearly, Poppy does have some mastery of uncommon vocabulary - which contradicts her statement.Like most of her books, I've Got Your Number is a light-hearted, quick read that keeps you entertained. Though it isn't intended to be a thought-provoking book that "makes a statement", the fact that the majority of the conversations Poppy has are through e-mail and texting via that cell phone is a testament to the times - hitting the mark for the way many friendships and relationships are facilitated these days. I've Got Your Number is a novel for this generation.**Original review posted on honestreviewscorner.com.**
    • 2/5
      Not as good as her Shopaholic series
    • 4/5
      Poppy is stressed. She was at a charity do with her friends when the fire alarm went off, at the time her friends were trying on her engagement ring, a heirloom from her fiance, Magnus. When they get back into the room, they can't find the ring and Poppy is panicking. Then her phone is robbed and when she discovers a phone in a bin in the foyer of the hotel she jumps on it. She needs a number to give the hotel staff in case it's found after all.The phone belongs to businessman Sam Roxton's company, it's his PA's phone. All his mail is routed through it. She doesn't want to give it back and he doesn't really want her meddling in his business. Her relationship with Magnus is fraught with angst.It's a light read, I did have moments where I went "really?" but overall it was entertaining and kept me reading.
    • 4/5
      Though this book started slow, I really enjoyed this book. It was a typical Kinsella book where you want to yell at the decisions that Poppy, the main character, makes (which might drive some crazy, but I thoroughly enjoy). Throughout this book, Kinsella used footnotes. I read this book on a Nook and it was a bit tedious to look at them and try and successfully get back to the page I was reading. The footnotes were worth the view, but frustrating at times. Overall, I would recommend this book in a book form or on a Nook.
    • 4/5
      Light, frothy and absolutely charming, this novel is in the pure Kinsella tradition of spunky girls and dark decisive men. Pros: a few laugh-out-loud moments and crazy situations that somehow make sense; cons: well... it's a formula and as soon as we're introduced to the characters we know what will happen. I enjoyed some of the less classical characters like Wanda and Antony, and the bad guys like Justin and Lucinda. Kinsella does have a talent for a fun and twisted plot. All around a lovely entertaining read.
    • 3/5
      It was an okay read. Not one of her best titles though, and a lot of it was predictable.
    • 4/5
      It took awhile for Poppy to win me over because in the beginning she was unbelievably irresponsible and downright stupid. While passing her engagement ring around the table for her friends to try on, there's a fire drill and they must evacuate the dining room. She realizes she doesn't have the ring and frantically checks with the girlfriends who all say no they passed to someone else. She pulls out her phone to make a call and a kid on a bike races buy and snatches it out of her hand. Just at that moment a women comes out and pitches her phone into the trash. Poppy retrieves it and refuses to give it back but is willing to act as Sam's personal assistant and pass his messages along to him.
    • 5/5
      Poppy Wyatt is about to embark on the life she always wanted. Engaged to the brilliant and handsome Magnus Tavish, Poppy is ready to move forward with the wedding. If she can find the antique family heirloom Magnus gave her as an engagement ring. After she gets her cell phone stolen too, Poppy really starts to worry until she finds a cell in the trash of a hotel. Now she can use that number to have to hotel call her when they find her ring. The phone introduces new chaos into Poppy's life as she discovers it belonged to the assistant of a very busy businessman, Sam Roxton. Poppy makes a deal with Sam that allows her to keep the phone if she forwards his messages. Poppy is soon caught up in Sam's life as well as trying to wade through her own mess, and soon she finds that she may be the key to solving a major crisis of Sam's. If she can survive her own crises that is.So I love Sophie Kinsella books, and this one was no exception. It has her usual charm and wit. I kind of felt like the last Shopaholic book or two were beginning to feel a bit formulaic, so I was worried that I may not enjoy this one. However, I was happy to see that Sophie Kinsella is able to keep the things I love about her writing, and these new characters kept things feeling a bit fresher. I didn't quite get Poppy and Magnus as a couple in the beginning, but things made much more sense in the end. I also loved the use of the cell phone as a plot point. It really helped show how much our communication has changed with people. It is much more common to text and use technology to communicate, but I think some people think this isolates us from others. I've always felt like it helps me reach more people; people I would never be able to talk to otherwise. This book did a great job of showing how technology can actually bring people together.Naturally there's not going to be anything earth shattering and new in this book, but there doesn't have to be. More than anything this book is fun! It's a great relaxing read. There are even a couple surprises in this book. People who don't like Sophie Kinsella are not going to like this book. That's pretty much a given. However if you are someone who enjoyed her books in the past, even if you are like me and felt some of the charm wearing off the latest Shopaholic books, give this one a try. It is a fast and fun read.Galley provided for review.
    • 4/5
      Settling on four stars for the pure enjoyment of this book, it really gets five for being the perfect read while waiting for a jump for the car and subsequent wait at the shop for a new car battery! It gets bumped down a bit for Poppy and Sam really just being thinly veiled disguises for Luke and Becky, but in the end, that's ok. I got a huge kick out of the premise of the book. Poppy discovers a mobile discarded in a bin and decides possession is more important than anything else. Of course, it's a work phone for a very important company and Sam's previous PA gave up the ghost with no notice. Poppy plays along, forwarding important looking emails and texts, seemingly oblivious to the ways in which their lives are becoming intertwined.
    • 5/5
      My favorite Kinsella novel to date - I think I like it better than the original Shopaholic book. The usual Kinsella formula is there: cute, impetuous, somewhat addled girl meets and upends the life of a handsome, successful, somewhat remote man - but Kinsella managed to create real emotion and some surprising depth. Don't get me wrong, this is a still a cream puff bon-bon of a book, but the calories aren't nearly as empty as expected. And of course, it was completely entertaining.
    • 5/5
      Hmmmm, I loved this book. Loved it. It was funny and quirky and totally enjoyable.This is a story about a girl, Poppy, who loses her engagement ring and as she's looking for it, she goes outside for better reception and that's when her cell phone gets stolen. While waiting to speak with the concierge about her ring, she finds a phone in the trash... and the rest is history.This book reminded me a lot of Bridget Jones' diary because Poppy was a mess too and there's a wonderful love story wrapped up in here and finally this book is screaming to be a film.Definite recommend.
    • 5/5
      At first, i have my reservation over this book solely because of the title of the book. Would it be as good as her previous books was what have been played in my mind. At the end of the book, where i close the book in my ereader, i know that Sophie has once again succeeded in producing an amazing book with a great plot that managaed to capture the heart of the readers.The story started with Poppy struggling to find her engagement ring which she seems to have lost after letting her girlfriends to try on. At the time where she trying to find reception for her call, her phone was being snatched away. Guess bad luck has befallen on her.. at the time where she needed a phone for her to call, she found one in a dustbin. The story from then on, peak up with how it turned out to be Sam's PA phone where the access to his emails are which Poppy have access to and with her simple minded, at times she replied the emails on behalf of him with him ended up with problems.It is really hilarious with the emails exchanges and i really like the changes in Sam who is rigid in nature became more adaptable and able to accept others opinion, all thanks to Poppy. Poppy is a likeable character with her bizarre actions and thoughts. Am really enjoyed this book very much and was a little sad when i reached the last page of the book ;)
    • 4/5
      A bit slow at first, but eventually I realize I'm hooked on the developing relationship between Poppy and Sam. Interesting story, if a bit predictable in its culmination. Might give another one of Ms. Kinsella's "stand-alone" books a try; her Shopaholic series just didn't capture my interest.
    • 5/5
      This was my first Sophie Kinsella read and I was absolutely charmed from the very first page. The character of Poppy Wyatt is one that I feel most women can easily relate to. She's flawed and insecure yet impulsive and mouthy at at once. The author does an amazing job of capturing the realities of what we all think and feel at one time in our lives or another and imbuing Poppy with those emotions!The supporting cast are also a pleasant surprise running the gambit from a less that ideal fiance and in-laws, to the assortment of friends...some true...some not so true. And the pace of the novel is perfect... keeping things moving along while peppering in moments of hilarity, reality, uncomfortability, and incredible sweetness. I was laughing non stop and enjoyed every minute.The budding romance that develops of all things via text messages between Poppy and Sam was incredibly sweet and somehow believable. I think I fell a little in love with him myself as I felt so much like Poppy while reading this!The only downside for me were the footnotes...not that I didn't enjoy reading them, but it was a bit difficult toggling back and forth on an e-reader. With a print copy though I feel they'd only enhance the read.This was an amazing delightful read that I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish and when I did I was left with only one question... Why in the world did I wait so long to read Sophie Kinsella??
