posiblemente termine con ansiedad monetaria por este libro.
La pelicula es mi cosa favorita en esta vida, la amo. PERO este libro es algo especial, no se si es porque no me identifico en lo absoluto con la protagonista. me causa conflicto que mienta y mienta y no deje de mentir. GIRL AFRONTA LAS COSAS
además de que su monologo interno si esta bien delulu la verdad but yo tambien m imagino qu me voy a casar con el primer wey que me habla bonito...
Entonces creo qu el segundo libro hablara sobre otra parte de la pelicula. PENSARE si seguire leyendo los libros o me quedo con la imagn de la pelicula.

I had a hard time feeling sympathetic for Rebecca in this book. She made some really dumb moves and was really mean to people at times... I will however admit that I did finish it and I probably will read the next one. It's one of those mindless reads that you need once in a while.

I was disappointed with this book. I could not seem to get into it, and I could not relate to the main character. Well written, but not my favorite.
At best, this is a light, fun beach read. But .. this is the most irritatingly immature "heroine" I've ever come across.
I actually tried the second book and just could not finish. I don't understand the legions of fans nor the continued series.

It hasn't aged wonderfully, but it's still enjoyable.
The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella is a chick lit novel about Rebecca, a shopaholic, and the numerous ways to tries to get out of debt.
There was a slew of secondary characters with unique personalities. I liked reading about Rebecca's relationship with each of thee characters.
I really liked following Rebecca's journey and watching her grow.
Rebecca is a relatable main character (besides her shopaholic tendencies) and she had me rooting for her throughout the novel.
I loved reading about the awkward situations Rebecca got herself into and the humorous ways she got out of them.
This book is the perfect escape from reality.

Actual Rating: 3.5
This book is very silly. It is full of silly characters, with silly dialogue, and a silly plotline. But sometimes...silly is good. Sometimes, it's even great. And I think, this book has the kind of silly that we all can enjoy.
I'm not arguing the fact that this book is not one with a large amount of literary merit. But if you turn your nose up at it and the hundreds of readers who have enjoyed it, then I don't have time for you. It's just enjoyable. It's funny and absurd, and it lightens up your day. If you are looking for something to put you into a good mood, this is the book for you.
Rebecca Bloomwood has a problem. Although she writes for financial newspapers, she herself can't seem to manage any of her money. She's flat broke and has a spending problem.
So I buy it. The most perfect little cardigan in the world. People will call me the Girl in the Gray Cardigan. I’ll be able to live in it. Really, it’s an investment.
But she's still utterly likable. She's absolutely hilarious and her internal commentary on her friends and family is perfect. I loved her voice and her way of looking at the world. She had a confidence that was slightly shaken throughout the book, but she realizes that she is more than just a girl who likes shopping. She was utterly naive at times, but also fresh and funny.
My parents watch too many soap operas, that's their trouble. In fact, they were probably hoping I was pregnant. By my wicked married lover whom they could then murder and bury under the patio.
Sure, she's also frustratingly dense at times. At times it impossible to avoid envisioning grabbing her and shaking some sense into her. Her schemes to avoid the bank, and her lies to her friends and family just build upon each other until they explode in her face in the best way possible. She makes a lot of mistakes and does a lot of stupid things, but you still root for her.
Life would be a lot easier if conversations were rewindable and erasable, like videos. Or if you could instruct people to disregard what you just said, like in a courtroom.
Finally, there's a dash of romance, of course. It's cute and funny, and thoroughly predictable. But no one reads a book like this looking for something mysterious and twisty. It's just good old-fashioned contemporary romance. Overall, I liked it, and I think there's a reason hundreds of others enjoy it too.
