Hi. Hi. I shrug, as though to say Whatever. In my peripheral vision I can see Magnus exhale. He looks a teeny bit nervous. So. So. I can play this game too. Poppy. Poppy. I mean, Magnus. I scowl. He caught me out.

More quotes by Sophie Kinsella
I love all my characters. I love their weaknesses and flaws. I feel like they're all my best friends and I adore being with them.
Sophie Kinsella
When I was your age, if a boy behaved badly, one simply scored his name out from one's dance card. (Sadie Lancaster - to Lara Lington)
Sophie Kinsella
To have someone who never makes a mistake, never finds her personal life in disarray, never worries about work-life balance? I think that would be unreal. What Im writing is real.
Sophie Kinsella
Your father always tries to see the good side of people to find the excuse. But sometimes there isn't a good side. There isn't an excuse. (Mom - to Lara Lington)
Sophie Kinsella
Still, that's the point of love you love someone despite their flaws.
Sophie Kinsella
I need good coffee! I say in horror. It's my only luxury! I can't live with my parents and drink bad coffee. It's not humanly possible. Becky talking about cutting back with her parents.
Sophie Kinsella
I'm sitting at the dinner table, wearing my future mother-in-law's underwear. It's like some twisted dream that you wake up and thinkL Crikey Moses! Thank God that didn't really happen!
Sophie Kinsella
Honestly, it’s so easy to get what you want from people if they think you’re a psycho.
Sophie Kinsella
If my writing comes to a halt, I head to the shops: I find them very inspirational. And if I get into real trouble with my plot, I go out for a pizza with my husband.
Sophie Kinsella
It's a GIRL. It's a little girl, with scrunched-up petal lips and a tuft of dark hair and hands in tiny fits, up by her ears. All that time, that's who was in there. And it's weird, but the minute I saw her I just thought: IT'S YOU. Of course it is.
Sophie Kinsella
We both gaze down at my swollen tummy for a while. I still can't quite get my head round the fact that there's a baby inside my body. Which has got to come out... somehow. OK, let's not go there. There's still time for them to invent something.
Sophie Kinsella
Look into your heart- and go after what you really want.
Sophie Kinsella
The way I write is totally instinctive. I just write what I feel or what I find funny - and hope everyone else agrees.
Sophie Kinsella
I don't think anyone sits down and thinks, 'I know, I'll be a chick-lit writer.' You write the book that you want to write and then other people say, 'Oh, that's chick-lit.' You say, 'Okay.' But it's not like you look around and go to a careers fair and there will be someone at the chick-lit author stand.
Sophie Kinsella
Everyone knows revenge is a dish best served when you've had enough time to build up enough vitriol and fury.
Sophie Kinsella
Visiting any shop for the first time is exciting. There's always that buzz as you push open the door that hope that belief - that this is going to be the shop of all shops, which will bring you everything you ever wanted, at magically low prices.
Sophie Kinsella
I'm allergic to family occasions. Sometimes I think we'd do better as dandelion seeds-no family, no history, just floating off into the world, each on our own piece of fluff.
Sophie Kinsella
The thing about lying to your parents is, you have to do it to protect them. It’s for their own good.
Sophie Kinsella
...you may be able to sway people's heads. But you can't sway their hearts.
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?)
