“Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) thought motherhood would be a breeze – but it’s trickier than she thought. Two-year-old Minnie is a little tearaway who has created havoc everywhere from Harrods to Harvey Nicks to her own christening. She hires taxis at random, her favourite word is ‘Mine’, and she already has a penchant for Balenciaga bags. Becky is at her wits’ end.

On top of this, she and Luke are still living with her Mum and Dad, there’s a big financial crisis so everyone’s having to Cut Back – including all her personal shopping clients – and her husband Luke is feeling low after the death of his beloved stepmother. To cheer Luke up, Becky decides to throw him a surprise birthday party – on a budget – and that’s when things become really complicated. As Becky tries to keep the arrangements secret, misunderstandings and excuses sprout everywhere, and soon she’s told so many fibs she can’t keep track of them. Will Becky pull off the surprise? Will Minnie give everything away? Will Minnie’s godparents ever stop arguing? Who will end up on the naughty step and who will get a gold star? And what will happen when Becky discovers Luke is keeping a big secret too?”

    Two-year-old Minnie is precocious, intelligent, wily --- and a mini shopaholic. A product of her environment, Minnie wants everything she sees and knows what she likes; as long as it has a designer label, it’s “miiiiine.” I invite you to join Sophie ... (read full critics)

    This time Kinsella is ways too ripetitive: every scene (even the more laughable, such as Nanny Sue's intervention and Minnie tantrums) gives the idea of re-reding the same story declined in any possible variation - Kinsella must be running of of ideas!

    Moreover some sketches (Suze/Tarquin business, the row between Becky and her mum) are boring and far-fetched.
    Maybe Kinsella wants to throw a farewell party to all her characters...

  • It's my first time to read an English novel.
    This book is interesting that included unpredictable situation happens.
    I can imagine the scenario she described.
    Every character has their own unique personality.

  • I had a lot of fun reading this book. I like how Sophie Kinsella writes, especially because it's easy to understand. I've enjoyed all Sophie Kinsella's books, but this is the first one that I read in English.
