Summary from the Author


Twenty-nine year old Samantha Sweeting is a lawyer in London who makes a huge mistake that costs her a chance to be partner in her firm. In the stress, she ends up applying to be a housekeeper even though she doesn't know how to cook and clean. She gets the job, then must work to pull her life together.

*****
One thing is for sure, each Kinsella novel is very much worth every penny.=D To those who wants a more detailed summary, here's what I can recall (mind you, it's been two years since I've read it. A friend borrowed the book, and as expected, they were never returned.it's that good):

The Undomestic Goddess is Samantha Sweeting. She is a lawyer in a top law firm who's made a fiasco of her career and wind up in front of a humongous house and was mistaken for a housekeeper applicant. Dazed, she was ushered in as a servant to a kind and bloody rich couple who are absolutely delighted by her "curtsy" and her "marvelous laundry". Of course, she knows as much about house chores as a tabby cat does--which is absolutely zero to speak of. How she was able to pull of such stunt and put her life back into pieces, she also realized what is truly important to her--even if the entire world may be against it.

I like Samantha's character more than Rebecca Bloomwood of the Shopaholic Series. (I love Becky too, but Sam's really cool). Samantha is a gutsy, self-driven lawyer climbing up her career ladder, living life to the fullest. And then finds love outside the corporate world.

I absolutely love this book especially for light reading-- those moments when you're stuck at home and it's raining and you just curl up in the bed or on the couch and read a wonderfully crazy book while sipping hot chocolate, or maybe after a stressful week at school as a way of pampering your mind and spirits. :D

My rating: a book worth buying...pronto!=D

Nice-to-know:
Sophie Kinsella is a pseudonym used by Madeleine Wickham to write chick lit. Although Wickham has published other books under her real name, her Kinsella books are much more popular, so more people know who "Sophie Kinsella" is. Here are all the books published by this author, with a note as to whether they were written as Wickham or Kinsella. (source: about.com)
