The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella Book Review

Sometimes you don’t need a goal in life. You don’t need to know the big picture. You just need to know what you’re going to do next.

When I started reading this book, I wasn't that interested. I got a little bored. Well, the same goes with a lot of books that I've read. I read a few pages, then stop. The next day I'll read again, and then stop. Until I arrive at the exciting parts of the story, that's when I get obsessed.

Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable. She's made a mistake so huge, it'll wreck any chance of a partnership.

Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train, and ends up, in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she's mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as housekeeper. Her employers have no idea they've hired a lawyer; and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. She can't sew on a button, bake a potato, or get the #@%# ironing board to open. How she takes a deep breath and begins to cope - and finds love - is a story as delicious as the bread she learns to bake.

But will her old life ever catch up with her? And if it does - will she want it back?

At one point in your life, you'll get into a crossroad. This is the stage where you have to make big choices. You have to choose well because time plays a very important role. Once you made choice, you either rejoice because you made the right decision; or realize that you chose the wrong road, but you can't just go back because life is not a game that you can reset to the time and place you started.

I like this love story. I like the moral. And even though I got bored at the beginning, I learned a ton in the end. I learned that you can't always run and beat deadlines. The best ways to enjoy life is by taking things slowly, one at a time. We don't live to work, we work to live. :)
