Description
Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:“Kinsella’s heroine is blessed with the resilience of ten women, and her damage-limitation brain waves are always good for a giggle.”—Glamour (U.K.) What’s a round-the-world honeymoon if you can’t buy the odd souvenir to ship back home? Like the twenty silk dressing gowns Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) finds in Hong Kong, or the hand-carved dining table from Sri Lanka, or the, um, huge wooden giraffes from Malawi (that her husband expressly forbade her to buy). Only now Becky and Luke have returned home to London, where two truckloads of those souvenirs have cluttered up their loft. The bills are outrageous, Luke is furious, and Becky’s feeling rather blue—until her parents deliver some incredible news. She has a long-lost sister! Becky is convinced her sister will be a true soulmate. They’ll go shopping together, drink cappuccinos together, get manicures together. Then Becky meets Jessica and receives the shock of her life. Surely the shopaholic’s own sister can’t hate shopping? Praise for Sophie Kinsella “Kinsella has a genuine gift for comic writing.”—The Boston Globe “Kinsella’s Bloomwood is plucky and funny. . . . You won’t have to shop around to find a more winning protagonist.”—People “Faster than a swiping Visa, more powerful than a two-for-one coupon, able to buy complete wardrobes in a single sprint through the mall—it’s Shopaholic!”—The Washington Post.… (more)

awesome
awesome
its hilarious and she's always getting herself in the most odd situations
i love the whole series
And we can actually see Becky has grown up a lot through out the series, from the very first book till now, the character matures, although at times still acted stupidly, but hey, she manages it in the end, solves the problem, despite certain rash actions on her side. Sometimes it makes people wishing that even though things might gone wrong at certain point in their life, in the end everything should manage and turn out well. So anyhow, this book is a very enjoyable read, excellent plot and story line, and not to be missed if you’ve followed Shopaholic’s adventures. I’m soo looking forward to reading Shopaholic & Baby next.
Points: 8.8 out of 10.(Because of Becky, Luke, Jess, Angel bag and chocolates made out of potatoes.)
p/s: oh and plsss don’t try to imagine isla and hugh as becky and luke throughout the book. It’ll ruin your imagination, really. As i said, the movie better off stands on its own.

Irresistible, one-woman shopping phenomenon Becky Bloomwood is back in this hilarious, heartwarming, New York Times bestselling tale of married life, best friends, and long-lost sisters (and the perils of simply having to own an Angel handbag!).
She is now married to Luke Brandon who she met in the 1st book. They
To be honest, I struggled through this book. I've read the 1st and haven't read the 2nd or 3rd but don't feel as though I missed anything. I'm quite glad to have skipped them really. Although well written and funny, I find Becky really annoying. She hasn't learn't after all this time that she spends too much money on rubbish. Its like reading the first book all over again but with a few new characters and in a slightly different setting.
Unfortunately I have the next book in series already so I will just read that when I want an easy read with a few laughs.
