Last installment of the Shopaholic series. Becky is pregnant, the hip OBGYN turns out to be Luke's ex, and a string of misunderstandings ensue, as can be imagained. SHopping for baby clothes is a whole new world for Becky! All turns out beautifully in the end, of course. Probably the weakest of the series, still a good mindless escape for vacation.

As the Shopaholic series progresses, the main character, Rebecca, gets more and more irritating and unlikable. I used to love this series but I couldn't even bring myself to read the last one Kinsella wrote. I'm even wondering if she hasn't hired a ghostwriter - they have got so bad. 

This one is probably the last one worth reading and even that is a slog. My advice is stop at Shopaholic and Sister. The ones after it are pure dross.

An entertaining read but ultimately it felt like the series had gone on too long.

If I could give this ten stars I would. It was so funny! The best one yet! Made me laugh out loud and nearly pee my pants.

Fun light read. Would suggest for fans of the series, but I wouldn't suggest starting with this one. It isn't as well plotted or funny as the others in my opinion.

"Becky's life is blooming! She's working at London's newest fashion store, The Look, house-hunting with husband Luke (her secret wish is a Shoe Room)...and she's pregnant! She couldn't be more overjoyed - especially since discovering that shopping cures morning sickness. Everything has got to be perfect for her baby: from the designer nursery...to the latest, coolest pram...to the celebrity, must-have obstetrician. But when the celebrity obstetrician turns out to be her husband Luke's glamorous, intellectual ex-girlfriend, Becky's perfect world starts to crumble. She's shopping for two...but are there three in her marriage?" (From Amazon)

Okay I am done with this series. Same old.
