 Twenties Girl is a 2009 novel by English Chick Lit author Sophie Kinsella (famous for the Shopaholic series).This novel takes a different route, dealing with a (always wacky) protagonist who is revealed to be quite an improbable Seer.Twenty-seven-year-old Lara has just broken up with her boyfriend Josh, the HR company she opened with her best friend isn't catching on (and her friend has all but abandoned her) and she struggles with money.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })She attends the funeral of her great-aunt Sadie, whom she barely remembers, and while there she gets visited by her great-aunt's ghost, in form of a perky, glamour flapper. Great-aunt Sadie contacts Lara as she can't move on without her precious dragonfly necklace, her favourite item.Lara is all but coerced by Sadie into going out for the necklace, embarking upon journey that ends up changing her life, finding a new love and an unexpected friendship with her ghost aunt and uncovering hidden family secrets.

 Deadpan Snarker: Sadie, as it turns out. Her great-niece Lara (and her fashion sense) is often the target of her snark.

 Cain and Abel: Lara's father Michael and his brother Bill. Let's not even dig into the fact that Bill stole Sadie's portrait and earned a million of pounds from it to found his company. He never shared a penny with his doting big brother, neither offering him a job or helping in any way, save for free drinks in his shops.

 Doting Parent: Lara's parents are less wacky than other parents in Sophie Kinsella's novels (aside for her mother's anxiety issues and her father being too-good-for-his-own-sake) but they are usually supportive if clueless.
