Sophie Kinsella has conquered the hearts of millions with her New York Times bestselling Shopaholic novels, which feature the irresistible one-woman shopping phenomenon Becky Bloomwood. Now Becky’s back in a hilarious, heartwarming tale of married life, best friends, and long-lost sisters (and the perils of simply having to own an Angel handbag!).

What’s a round-the-world honeymoon if you can’t buy the odd souvenir to ship back home? Like the Chinese urns and twenty silk dressing gowns Becky found in Hong Kong…the five kilim rugs from Turkey…the splendid hand-carved dining table (and ten chairs) from Sri Lanka…the, um, huge wooden giraffes from Malawi (that her husband Luke expressly forbade her to buy)…

Only now Becky and Luke have returned home to London and Luke is furious. Two truckloads of those souvenirs have cluttered up their usually immaculate loft, and the bills for them are outrageous. Becky’s even maxed out on her second secret credit card, and she doesn’t have a new job yet!

Luke insists she go on a budget. And worse: her beloved best friend Suze has found a new best friend while Becky was away. Becky’s feeling rather blue—when her parents deliver some incredible news. She has a long-lost sister! Becky is thrilled! She’s convinced her sister will be a true soulmate. They’ll go shopping together, drink cappuccinos together, have manicures together, and watch their favorite videos together.

Until she meets Jessica for the first time and gets the shock of her life. Surely Becky Bloomwood’s sister can’t…hate shopping?

    Got this because it was on sale and some friends raved about the series. I could not decide if the author was serious or tongue in cheek, I hope it was the latter because I have yet to come across a more despicable and shallow protagonist in any book or movie, ever.

  • I want my money - AND my judgement - back!

    Certainly the worst in the whole 'Shopaholic' series.

  • The less favourite of the serie.
    It seems to me that Kinsella has run out of inspiration to come up with such an improbable story. Maybe it was a chance for Becky to grow up, but I loved her better the usual way.

  • the story itself wasn't bad. but the more i read on the shopaholic series the more i dislike becky. it seems like only her age develops but not her maturity level.
