I hurl the glass teapot to the ground. we both stare at it, stunned. it was supposed to break, I explain after a pause, and that was going to signify that yes, I would throw something away . If I knew it wasn't right for me.
Sophie Kinsella
You're so narrow-minded! You live in the same village you grew up in, you run the family business, you're buying a nursery down the road... you're practically still in the womb. So before you lecture me on the way to live my life, try living one of your own, OK?
Sophie Kinsella
Ciao, I say casually, and flick my hair back. Si. Ciao. I could so be Italian. Except I might have to learn a few more words.
Sophie Kinsella
We’re on this planet for too short a time. And at the end of the day, what’s more important? Knowing that a few meaningless figures balanced—or knowing that you were the person you wanted to be?
Sophie Kinsella
There are some things I don't understand about Jess and never will. No wedding dress. No flowers. No photo album. No champagne. The only thing she got out of her wedding was a husband. (I mean, obviously the husband is the main point when you get married. Absolutely. That goes without saying. But still, not even a new pair of shoes?)
Sophie Kinsella
Everyone knows the first rule of business is Look good during confrontations. Or if it isn't, it should be.
