Sophie Kinsella is a pseudonym that Madeleine Wickham started using once she published Confessions of a Shopaholic. Although Wickham had previously published seven other books under her real name, her Kinsella books were much more popular, so she has stuck with the pseudonym. All of her books fall into the genre "chick lit" -- light, humorous books about modern women and their misadventures in life and love.

The Giver of Stars (2019)
Jojo Moyes
"What a wonderful novel. The Giver of Stars is the most sweeping, dramatic, richly evocative book, full of brilliantly feisty women. I whipped through the pages, utterly agog, pretty much feeling as though I was on a horse in 1930s Kentucky myself."

Would I Lie to You? (2021)
Aliya Ali-Afzal

The Lifeguards (2022)
Amanda Eyre Ward
"The Lifeguards combines dark intrigue with complex family dynamics and witty social observation. It's a highly charged, compelling page-turner that kept me guessing till the end. Sun, secrets, tequila, and twists - what's not to like?!"
