Sophie Kinsella, author of the Shopaholic series, has written another fun, frothy tale starring a heroine with a predictably complicated love life. As I've Got Your Number opens, Poppy Wyatt, happily engaged to the very attractive Magnus, loses an expensive heirloom emerald ring. Then, to make matters worse, her cell phone gets stolen. Panicked, Poppy seizes a phone lying in a nearby trash bin and gives the number to everyone in the vicinity, telling them to call if they find her ring.
Handsome high-powered businessman Sam Roxton shows up, demanding the phone, which belonged to his former assistant. Poppy makes Sam a deal: if he'll let her use it while she waits for a call about her emerald, she'll forward all his business e-mails and texts.
Sam and Poppy find themselves in a delicate situation; sharing a phone is surprisingly intimate. Suddenly they know a lot about each other's careers, friends and love lives. As Poppy plans her wedding and tries to solve the ring dilemma, Sam attempts to pull off a huge business deal and protect the reputation of his mentor. Can they pull it off with only one phone?
Told in the first person by Poppy, with copious footnotes inspired by Magnus's academic writing, I've Got Your Number is a lighthearted look at getting to know a stranger. Poppy's antics will keep you laughing and make you wonder how much of your own life is in your phone. --Jessica Howard, blogger at Quirky Bookworm
