Thank you netgalley for my copy of this book.

I have loved Sophie Kinsella books in the past. Can You Keep A Secret used to be one of my absolute favorites.

While I was excited to read this one, it was hard for me to get through. The beginning really pulled me in but the rest of the book took me a long time to read.

Overall, this one was okay. I’ll still read anything Sophie Kinsella writes in the future though!

This book is laugh out loud funny, filled with plenty of heart, and wholly relatable.
This was my second book by Kinsella and both times I found myself relating to the characters and circumstances. This was a great contemporary fiction, light on the romance and heavy on the self-reliance and friendships.

I was grateful to read an ARC of Sophie Kinsella's latest book. I recommend it and enjoyed the character development and was rooting for them!

I really enjoyed this one - Kinsella really shows why she’s the OG “Queen of Chick-Lit” here, this one gave me all the feels. I adored poor Sasha (the burned-out title MC), the seaside hotel in disrepair and it’s quirky staff & guests. The love interest, Finn, was just okay, but the secondary story about their childhood surf instructor Terry, now with dementia, was just so touching & heart-warming 🥲. There are also some really good takeaways from this one about priorities, boundaries & self-care.

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have read a ton of Sophie Kinsella books and while I have enjoyed almost all of them they had started to feel very repetitive to the point where I stopped reading her books. They were all books with women who have absolutely no common sense and the situations they somehow get themselves into (ones that would never happen in a million years.) It was nice to finally have a character who was completely different and actually had a brain! She still got into the wacky situations like the other books but she was still smart about it.

I liked that the romance was a little on the back burner for this book and a lot of it was focusing on Sasha getting over her burnout and coming back to herself. Though I did enjoy reading Sasha and Finn's relationship too.

I would definitely give the next Sophie Kinsella book a chance again.

I thoroughly enjoy Kinsella’s latest story delving into the effects of working too much and how burn out feels. This novel was really topical and at times hit a little too close to home as the depictions of burn out were all to real. I also absolutely loved that although the characters fell in love as they were recovering, there was time between the recovery and actually finding themselves before they got together.

I read this book via audiobook and enjoyed it. The narrator was wonderful and made me chuckle with the way she delivered the story. I will say that even though there was romance in the book, I don’t know if I’d label this book as a romance. It leaned more towards a women’s fiction for me. Overall, the book was a decent read.

I will always always read Sophie Kinsella books. I enjoyed the audio & the story. Solid 4 stars from me!

Love any book that Sophie Kinsella writes. This was a funny laugh out book that I read in one sitting. The story that hits home to a lot of people.

3.5 This was such a cute women’s fic style romance and I really enjoyed it the third act conflict wasn’t my favorite but the ending pulled it together well. This book follows Sasha a woman working at one of the travel app marketing team, the company is a startup so funds are tight and help is even tighter. Fed up with having to take on more work Sasha has a bit of a mental break down and tries to join a convent. After having a wellness officer called on her she is put off work to recoup. Sasha deciding to change her life decides to take a wellness trip at the urging of her mom , or personal assistant. She goes back to the town where her family would vacation every summer. While trying to change her life Sasha meets Finn who is also there to try to escape something that happened to him as well. Sasha and Finn are staying in a very charismatic hotel with tons of fun crazy characters.

I really enjoyed this story it kind of gave me Emily Henry vibes were it was much more than a romance and I would say feels a little more women’s fic with a little romance sprinkled in. The characters in this book took a while to grow on me I wasn’t a huge fan at first but once I got to know them more they really grew on me. The pacing was a little slow for me I enjoyed the mystery that took place within the story but this felt much more a slice of life story. My only issue with this book was the third act conflict it just had some topics and themes that weren’t my favorite but otherwise I really enjoyed this book and will continue to read more from this author in the future. I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

In Sophie Kinsella's The Burnout", Sasha has had it. She is overwhelmed at work, has no social life and no interest in dating. Sasha has hit a wall.

After she experiences a mini breakdown, Sasha heads to the seaside resort she loved as a child. But the hotel is in shambles, and she has to share the beach with a grumpy guy named Finn, who seems as stressed as Sasha. They argue about a favorite rock and everything else.

When strange messages, seemingly addressed to Sasha and Finn, begin to appear on the beach, the two are forced to talk about everything. How did they get to this place and how can they stop it from happening again? The attraction between the two flares. The Burnout is another great book by an author I love to read.

What a fun read! I giggled all the way through. I think most readers will able to relate…… a good take away message: “Go get it!”
Thank You to NetGalley, Random House, and Sophie Kinsella for the opportunity to enjoy this ARC.

I have been a fan of Sophie Kinsella since she came out and always make it a point to read her newer stuff, even if it is years later. The Burnout got me right from the beginning as this is usually how I feel at my job but she escaped the madness. I envy this. The Rilston, the hotel she goes to on her break in a small seaside town she used to visit as a child, is a character of its own. From each awkward piece of furniture to the dilapidated cottages on the beach that were once first class destinations for the rich. I found each actual character delightful, annoying in some way but loveable all the same. Arthur...oh Arthur. The romance was tasteful, sweet and it took it's time. This read let's you slow down.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants an easy read in a cute setting that will just let you sit back, lose yourself a little and give you a good laugh.

This was my first Sophie Kinsella novel that I’ve read.

I have to admit I giggled a lot and out loud reading this book.

I found the hotel situation funny and unlikely to ever happen but for the purpose of the book it was good.

This is a story about finding balance and love in one’s life.

I have enjoyed many books by Sophie Kinsella. She is a master of the over-the-top comedic rom-com and her books are generally perfect for a few hours of escapist fun. That being said, The Burnout was not one of my favorites. It started strong with her signature laugh out loud shenanigans while also reflecting the burnout that I think so many of us feel in today's world. But the story began to drag in the middle, and I found myself losing interest. The relationship between Sophie and Finn felt forced and underdeveloped, and the :"mystery-ish" subplot was wholly unnecessary. Ultimately, this book was fine, but I think some of her other novels are much better.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Random House, The Dial Press for gifting this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It's a VERY slow burn and just felt like it was missing something. Not bad per say, but seemed a little lacking.

The Burnout was a cute read. I liked the storyline and the characters. It did take a few tries to get into the book but then I finally finished it.

It definitely had classical Kinsella elements. It was sort of like a cross between Twenties Girl and My not so perfect life.

This didn't have a lot of romance in it, just a couple of parts but I think in this case it was meant to be just two people gravitating towards each other..

Thank you Netgalley and publishers for allowing me the chance to read and review. It was a 4 star rating.

Sophie Kinsella is one of my favorite authors and it is not my usual genre. Her books are always full of wit and charm. They suck you in and you can not put down!

The Burnout follows Sasha, who is basically living the same day of stress and anxiety in a Groundhog Day loop. After things come to a head, Sasha makes a hilarious escape, and decides to try to rectify her burnout at a family vacation spot from her childhood. Once there, she meets the quirky, hilarious staff of the hotel, but also Finn, who vacationed in the same spot as a boy. Although they begin their burnout vacations as enemies, their relationship quickly changes as they both address what their lives have become.

4.5 ⭐️
I absolutely loved this! This was hilarious. I laughed out loud multiple times, constant smile and I loved the ending, that last line from Finn to Sasha made me gush and swoon, ugh. I highly recommend this. The hilarious cast of characters, and how Sasha and Finn both developed and tried to overcome their burnouts, while also developing a friendship and more, was all so well written, enough depth about burnout and life and just good feelings overall. I didn’t absolutely love the side plot of the messages on the beach throughout, but the way it came together in the end was so beautiful and meaningful. I wanted to stay in this story for a lot longer. Kinsella does it again!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the free preview in exchange for an honest review.

For me, this story didn't really work. I was excited to read it because I used to love Kinsella's books. This one was just ok, I didn't get sucked in to it and I really didn't like the characters. For me it was a tough one to finish, but I did complete it, Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.
