my not so perfect life by sophie kinsella

These are just some of the questions the author addresses. How mad is the world we live in, when people invent illnesses to stay in vogue and on trend?Īnd what about our obsession with creating an image on social media sites? Looking at people’s glossy photos suggesting they live the lives of luxury and success, do we really believe them? Are their lives really “perfect” or are they just creating an illusion to make themselves feel better about their problems and failures? And could you be guilty of doing it yourself? As if people stopped caring about the actual quality of things in blind pursuit of the latest trends and fashionable innovations.Įverywhere we go these days we constantly witness people placing special demands, claiming: “I’m allergic to this… or I’m intolerant to that…” The question is: how many of these people are actually allergic to what they claim they are, and how many of them are just faking it? It’s almost as if some of these “conditions” were specifically invented to upgrade the “sufferers” into the ranks of “elite”, “special” and “VIP”. Regardless of the real attributes of a product, just a mere mention of a celebrity name will promote it no end and ensure its popularity. It appears that, if you use enough of the right words to describe something, such as bespoke, artisan, sustainable, organic, authentic etc. Reading “My not so Perfect Life” allows you a glimpse into a world of branding and marketing, and makes you contemplate just how fake and trends-obsessed our lives have become. She is tenacious and naturally talented enough to make it, but will the big bad city let her achieve her dreams or will it crush them under the feet of eager fellow commuters?
