***********

Discover the joy that awaits when you set yourself free...

Sasha is well and truly over it all: work (all-consuming), friendships (on the back burner), sex-life (non-existent).

Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga and find solitude, she heads to the Devon resort she loved as a child. But it's off-season, the hotel is falling apart and she has to share the beach with a grumpy, stressed-out guy called Finn.

How can she commune with nature when he's sitting on a rock, watching her suspiciously? Especially when they don't agree on burnout cures. (Sasha: manifesting, wild swimming, secret Mars bars; Finn: drinking whisky.)

But when curious messages start appearing on the beach, Sasha and Finn are forced to begin talking – about everything. What's the mystery? Why are they both burned out? And what exactly is 'manifesting', anyway?

They might discover that they have more in common than they think. . .

A great read.

P.F. · 19 November 2024

After dumping a "bestseller" and "unputdownable" load of rubbish, I was in need of reading therapy; something witty, polished, moving, uplifting, and most importantly something well written. The Burnout was the perfect choice. It's been a while since i read the Shopaholic series, and I wondered if Kinsella still had it. Oh YES! This is joyful, poignant, hysterical, quirky and emotional. The characters are fabulous - Cassidy is such a wonderful creation, but so are all the people who bring a cery straightforward idea alive. Books don't have to be oh so clever to be deep and The Burnout proves that point in spades. Skilfully plotted and planned, a beautifully judged balance of humour and drama, this was the perfect book to reassure me that reading could be obe if life's great pleasures. Thank you Sophie Kinsella.

It was such a delightful read

C.B. · 1 August 2025

This was such an uplifting read, which I so needed!The burnout feelings Sasha experiences are so realistic it brought it all back. I wish I had had the energy to go away by the sea just as Sasha did. The sea just has that effect on your wellbeing, even in winter (or in Welsh weather).Sasha's antics and what she comes out with made me laugh as did Cassidy, Herbert and Nikolai. My heart broke for Terry, the former surf instructor, who "is no longer himself". These quirky and very likeable characters made it such a delightful read.I really enjoyed Sophie Kinsella's writing. She sensitively writes about mental health issues, grief, recovery, breakup, marital problems, illnesses, etc..."You're never failing, you're learning. Learning how to manage the sea and how to manage yourself. Everything you did today, right or wrong, was experience. Experience! Can't beat it. And you'll learn from it, just you wait."

Enjoyable easy read

This was a very easy holiday read. Sophie Kinsella never disappoints. Funny, romatic lovely story to help you forget the real world for a few hours.

Romantic and funny

m.a.c. · 6 March 2026

Although predictable and with a weak story, the novel is still.very entertaining and enjoyable. A love story is always enjoyable. We can all do with a bit of Terry's wisdom and Sasha's spontaneity.

A definite must read

d.h. · 22 December 2024

I found it hard to put this book down. It pulls you in from the very first page and has you hooked. I cried, I laughed and I held my breath in anticipation. A real feel good, heart warming book. Kinsella paces the plot well and keeps you guessing. The characters are loveable andrelatable. It isn't predictable and the twists and turns make it well worth reading.

Funny, uplifting, cringey enjoyable

J.S. · 22 May 2025

I am huge Sophie Kinsella fan and have read all her books, she is one of the few authors I preorder. I absolutely loved this and had many laugh out loud moments. The main characters start off as protagonists with all the usual plot twists. As well so may intertwining small story lines, I real feel good , uplifting joy to read page turner.

Fantastic read

m.w. · 22 January 2026

I was hooked from the very first chapter. A fantastic love story that keeps you wanting to carry on reading. Recommended. A fabulous author that will make you want to reach for the next book

A heartwarming read

S.B. · 22 February 2026

What an interesting story, with laugh out loud bits. I haven’t laughed out loud while reading in a long time. The overall storyline made me remember past holidays and past friendships. Life at the moment for many people is heading towards burnout, we need to find little moments for self-care and recovery and for me part of that is reading a good book. Thank you Sophie.

Loved it! One of the best Kinsella! Funny, sensitive and sexy! Perfect read!

C.C. · 31 March 2025

Loved it! Sophie Kinsella is the best, always, but I think it is one of her best! I really enjoyed the storyline, the places, the characters... Funny, sensitive and sexy! Perfect read!

Sensational Sophie Kinsella…

t. · 31 March 2024

I’m a huge Sophie Kinsella fan. She’s the only author I buy novels from and I’m never disappointed when I read. I personally recommend any Sophie Kinsella novel. Excited to sink into the blankets to read this novel❣️

Great purchase!

M.d.C. · 9 January 2026

As well written and hilarious as all her books. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop until it was over. I completely recommend It!

Um romance que garante boas gargalhadas!

T. · 2 March 2024

Uma das características que eu mais aprecio nos livros da autora é o humor, que não é forçado e consegue divertir e fazer qualquer leitor dar boas risadas.Esse não é diferente.O tema central do enredo é sério e até um pouco tenso, já que a personagem principal acaba de passar por uma estafa física e mental originada pelo trabalho e volta ao local em que passava férias na infância para se recuperar.No entanto, tudo é abordado de forma leve e muito realista, com algumas passagens tristes, outras muito engraçadas e até emocionantes.Além disso, há a construção gradativa de uma amizade entre duas pessoas que se ajudam mutuamente na superação, que se torna um lindo romance.Ótima história!
