Not only do I enjoy trashy romance novels but I also overindulge in hedonism by having them read out loud to me as I perform other activities such as driving and lounging around my apartment. Each one of her novels (read in a thick British accent) has been inspirational for me. Most memorable, was The Undomesticated Goddess.
The story introduces you to a high-powered lawyer living in the London downtown core, who gets fired, moves to a remote rural village, becomes a housekeeper, and learns to love cooking and cleaning. And, of course, falls madly in love.
Each of her novels teaches you important lessons such as:
1) I can relate to the protagonist—I’m busy, underappreciated, and destined for more.
2) There is someone perfect out there for me (like the gardener from The Undomesticated Goddess)
3) Fate will decide my future
4) Things aren’t always what they seem
5) Be true to yourself
6) Hard work pays off
These books are basically geared at people exactly like me (and much younger). People who are: uncertain about their career choice, looking for love, egocentric, and believe they are destined for something remarkable.
While listening to the Undomesticated Goddess I was inspired to clean my apartment from top to bottom, make my friends a gourmet lunch and attempt to make ribs for a man. Although I cheated with the ribs, I think both parties appreciated the effort that Sophie inspired in me.
