02UndatedIt really is the year 2007. Which means I must be...Oh my God. I'm twenty-eight.I'm old.Sophie Kinsella / quote ↗
03UndatedIf my writing comes to a halt, I head to the shops: I find them very inspirational. And if I get into real trouble with my plot, I go out for a pizza with my husband.Sophie Kinsella / quote ↗
04UndatedMy earliest, most impactful encounter with a book was when I was seven and awoke early on Christmas morning to find Roald Dahl's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' in my stocking. I had never been so excited by the sight of a book - and have possibly never been since!Sophie Kinsella / quote ↗
05UndatedI never did any training in journalism or in finance, so I really was in the deep end. I got very good at going to press conferences and nodding. I'd figure it out when I got back to the office. Charts and numbers. I've never been great with facts, ever, my whole life. For a journalist, that's not a very good trait.Sophie Kinsella / quote ↗
06UndatedPeople used to ask me for advice, and I'd say, 'Please, don't ask me!' Yes, I did economics at Oxford, but that's not the same as having a broad knowledge of personal finance.Sophie Kinsella / quote ↗
07UndatedShopping with friends is a great way of still enjoying the thrill of the chase without having to make a purchase. It can also be a real bonding opportunity. Helping your friend find something nice is just as rewarding as helping yourself.Sophie Kinsella / quote ↗
08UndatedI always thought 'chick lit' meant third-person contemporary funny novels, dealing with issues of the day. I mean, it's not the ideal term; when I'm asked to describe what I do, I say I write romantic comedies, cause that's what I feel they are. But I'm quite pragmatic.Sophie Kinsella / quote ↗
09UndatedI think a lot of people still fantasise about that first love and what might happen if they rekindled the relationship.Sophie Kinsella / quote ↗
