  Shopaholic Takes Manhattan

  The shopaholic books are always a fun bit of fluff. Once you know Becky Bloomwood, it's fairly easy to guess exactly how her best-laid plans are going to fall apart, but that doesn't make the trip there any less entertaining.

  SPOILER (do not read if you don't want to know how it goes)

  This is the third Sophie Kinsella's book that I've read and I have to say, they all look the same after a while. The format is very repetitive. The main character gets into a lot of trouble, everything and everyone against her, until she finds the solution and it all gets happily sorted.

  A part from that, it's light and funny to read.

  Hadn't it been written by her, the book would hardly have reached three stars: as much as I can enjoy chick-lit, the story is almost identical to that of the first shopaholic book, with a few minor changes (basically the location, New York).

  It's the same out-of-control shopping plot made me laugh, it's the same reliable friendship between Becky and Suze made me feel touched, it's the same heart-warmed Luke made me want to cry...It's the same interesting shopaholic I always love! I was especially touched by the plot which Luke finally showed up in Tom's wedding.

  After all these disasters Becky went through, she became a totally "different" one!(Was her?) I'm looking forward to reading the next sequel novel!

  P.44-45
  When I first knew Luke, I only ever saw him businesslike and polite, or scarily angry, or -- very occasionally -- amused. Even after we started seeing each other, it was a long time before he really let his guard down. In fact, the first time he really, really laughed, I was so surprised, I snorted lemonade through my nose.

  Even now, whenever I see his face creasing into a real smile, I feel a bit of lift inside. Because I know he's not like that with everyone. He's smiling like that because it's me. For me.
