I could not have loved it more.' LISA JEWELL *********** 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. . . ********** Praise for The Burnout 'Such a hilarious, joyous, life-affirming book; I never wanted it to end' JENNY COLGAN, bestselling author of The Christmas Bookshop 'An absolute joy. . . wickedly funny and blissfully romantic' Sunday Express 'A gorgeous, feelgood gem. 5 stars' The Sun 'Uplifting and full of laugh-out-loud moments!

But lovely read and specially the one liners related to work burnout were on point. Review: Prompt delivery, a good read! - The book was un-put-down-able.

Easy holiday read ‘ don’t expect great insights
Funny and easy to read. But far far from reality. Burnouts and mental illness are serious stuff. This story kind of trivializes it all.

Ok read
Common story..it's been dragged to much. Terry's part is unnecessary long. Didn't like that much.

exploring urban chaos, self-discovery, and unexpected connections
Sophie Kinsella's latest novel, "The Burnout," delves into a phenomenon familiar to many urban dwellers and corporate workers – burnout, the dreaded state faced by those compelled to work excessively long hours. Although this theme has been explored in numerous novels, my curiosity led me to wonder about the unique perspective a Sophie Kinsella novel centered around burnout might offer. When it comes to the standard set for a Sophie Kinsella book, this one fall short of the reader's expectations. To be honest, I loved the characters – Sasha and Finn, each doing their own thing, both at the beach for their own different reasons. Their banter and equation got off to a great start. But here's the thing: the book loses its charm pretty quickly, especially in terms of Sasha and Finn's chemistry. Once they transition from enemies to friends, the story doesn't seem to progress any further, and that's where the problem begins. Overall, "The Burnout" is a decent one-time read, but you could do without it. Perhaps a shorter length and more passionate chemistry would have worked wonders for the novel.

An Honest Review!
Sasha Worth, the marketing prodigy and director of special promotions at Zoose, is overwhelmed by the mounting pressure of her job, with emails piling up and her work-life balance crumbling. Burnout takes hold, and she loses her zest for life. But an unexpected reservation takes her back to Rilston Bay, where she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and healing. She encounters a dilapidated hotel, a grumpy yet attractive guy named Finn, and they bond over shared experiences of burnout. Together, they unravel the mystery of strange notes and gifts left by a mysterious couple. In summary, “The Burnout” is an entertaining and uplifting romantic comedy that strikes a perfect balance between laughter and heartwarming moments. Sophie Kinsella showcases her storytelling prowess as she explores themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the power of connection. This book is a delightful escape filled with humor, heartfelt moments, and a reminder of the importance of finding joy and healing in unexpected places.

Um romance que garante boas gargalhadas!
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!
