Description
A witty and emotionally charged novel that delves into the heart of a marriage, and how those we love and think we know best can sometimes surprise us the most—from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella
After ten years together, Sylvie and Dan have a comfortable home, fulfilling jobs, and beautiful twin girls, and they communicate so seamlessly they finish each other’s sentences. They have a happy marriage and believe they know everything there is to know about each other. Until it’s casually mentioned to them that they could be together for another sixty-eight years . . . and panic sets in.
They decide to bring surprises into their marriage to keep it fresh and fun. But in their pursuit of Project Surprise Me—from unexpected gifts to restaurant dates to sexy photo shoots—mishaps arise, with disastrous and comical results. Gradually, surprises turn to shocking truths. And when a scandal from the past is uncovered, they begin to wonder if they ever really knew each other at all.
With a colorful cast of eccentric characters, razor-sharp observations, and her signature wit and charm, Sophie Kinsella presents a humorous yet moving portrait of a marriage—its intricacies, comforts, and complications. Surprise Me reveals that hidden layers in a close relationship are often yet to be discovered.

My Thoughts:
I am super stoked to be able to read a new book by Sophie Kinsella. I love her writing (ie: Twenties Girl and My Not So Perfect Life). This newest book is no exception. I was very surprised by it though. The way Sylvie and Dan deal with each other throughout the course of the book changes pretty drastically. They start out as the perfect couple that are so in sync they can finish each other's sentences and pretty quickly become a couple hanging on to their marriage by a thread. I admit that I jumped to all the wrong conclusions while reading this which is AWESOME! I love when a plot surprises me. There are some pretty serious issues at play here ranging from infidelity, money issues, public opinions, depression, all the way to denial. I had a hard time putting this one down. The thing that I love most about this book is how very easy it is to relate to. I give this one a 5 out of 5 stars.
