The Party Crasher by Sophie Kinsella – audiobook – $4.99
I have read so many of Sophie Kinsella books and this one charmed me. It has all the things she does well – sweet relationships, snappy dialogue, and a little bit of the absurd that makes her books extra fun. I read it in 24 hours and kept laughing out loud during it (and also got a little teary during some of it – I love a book that can do both!).
