Okay, this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The ending is annoying, but I found myself more interested in the plot than I was in some of her last books. Maybe once the next one comes out and everything wraps up, this will bump up to four stars. For now, 3 stars because of the ending and because there's too much reliance on formula, which is getting old this far into the series.

Oh man, I don't even know how I'm going to type this review. Okay, so this is a reread and the first time I rated it 3 stars but after reading this again I'm downgrading it by one star. Shopaholic to the Stars just wasn't for me I guess. But don't worry I'm still going to finish out this series, I mean there's like one more book left? So I might as well finish that one.
While reading this book I did have a few laughs in the beginning because Becky is just so ridiculous. But throughout the book, she just does even more ridiculous things and just becomes even more selfish. It's like she doesn't even care about her friends or families feelings - it's just all about what she wants - and it's getting really annoying. I don't know how I've read seven of these books and I'm just now bringing this topic up. Also, I hate how she just constantly lies to the people she loves and how they just automatically forgive her just like that.
In the end, Becky's dream didn't seem like anything she wanted anymore. She wants to go find out where her dad and Suze's husband are and bring them back. I don't know why it took Becky twenty-three chapters to figure this all out but whatever I'm glad she's on the right path now.
I really hope the next book is a lot better.

I found that this book had the best plot out of the whole series, it was suspenseful, interesting and was not just driven by Becky's shopping addiction. However I still found her to be really annoying and at times even Suze got on my nerves. Luke was still amazing (duh)
I really enjoyed the Shopaholic series, but It's past time for Becky to grow up. Her childish antics were amusing in the beginning but she hasn't learned anything. I think it's time for Becky to retire. I read about half the book before giving up.
Okay, I know this series is supposed to be fun and not intended for heavy reading, but I have to say this is my least favorite of the series thus far.
Becky seems particularly shallow, ignoring friends in crisis and family and only coming to her normal realization at the end...but this time she nearly lost everything...
I say nearly because I have no idea how this ends, for the first time ever we have a massive cliffhanger in this series. This is really why the lower rating here...as they drive off into the sunset the book abruptly ends and we say, what? Now what?
This type of fun series is just not he type for cliffhanger ending.
