Twenties Girl
by Kinsella, Sophie
Lara Lington is having a rough week, but things take a truly bizarre turn when the ghost of her great-aunt Sadie shows up demanding help. Sadie is a sharp-tongued flapper from the 1920s who refuses to move on until she recovers a missing necklace. What follows is a frantic, hilarious scavenger hunt that forces Lara to step out of her quiet, cautious life. Kinsella nails that specific brand of chaos where the stakes feel both life-altering and deeply silly. The pacing is breathless, bouncing between the modern-day mishaps of a young woman finding her voice and the glittering, jazz-age memories of a woman who lived life on her own terms. It is perfect for anyone who wants a story that balances genuine heart with a healthy dose of supernatural comedy and a dash of intergenerational mystery.
