First of all this book was very different from the movie. I was just amazed how some parts were so much better described as they were filmed. And it was just the perfect book for me. I study to be a journalist. So that was absolutely a win for me. And it’s written so girlish, it’s just ‘aaaawh’ the entire time.
In the beginning I remembered the story from the movie. But after I while I had lost this idea. I began to see the book as a different story. It was so much more than was shown in the movie. I loved the little details. The things that make reading this book fun.
Rebecca Bloomwood is such a good character. She has been interesting from the beginning. I love how she describes journalism. A job where you just type over flyers. It’s funny, because sometimes it’s just really all that you do. She works in a sector where she doesn’t belong. It seems like she doesn’t even know about finance. I really find that funny. How the hell was she accepted at that job offer???
And I love even more about her. The way she fancies Luke, but she is to confident to tell herself that. It’s just cute. Sometime like that really belongs in a book like this. But sometimes I really hated Rebecca. Like the moment with Tarquin, it’s not fair to think like that.
I did think it was a bit boring sometimes. The Derek Smeath story was good, but her trying to escape him became a bit boring after a while. I do love how the wrote about Derek. He seems like such een douch. I could really picture him, a little man with classes and his her all messed up. A bit like Jon Heder in Napoleon Dynamite. Just a nerd.
I loved how the ending started when she came on television. That scene was so intense. I was smiling at the pages. I loved how it was described. It was funny and very truthful. I think it’s one of the best scenes out of the entire book. I was quite disappointed by the rest of the ending. I had a feeling that I saw it coming. But still a great book to read. I would love to read the rest of the series. Quite curious how this series will go on.
This book shows that money isn’t everything. Friends and family are much more important. But still clothes are fun too. (;

I enjoyed this book it was a nice girly read. You didn't have to think to much you could relax and indulge. Much better than the film.
Surprisingly good!
First of all this is not a genre I usually prefer, and secondly I'm not really an "it" girl when it comes to fashion and "brand" names.
This last fact became extremely clear to me in the first few chapters, I kept thinking: "Is there really people out there like this?" Of course I know there's people like Rebecca in our world, I shared a house with one growing up.
That said; Rebecca - Becky to her friends - is so realistically portrayed that she could be the girl next door. Kinsella makes you live through Becky, feeling her ecstatic personality bubbling up in side of you as you go with her on her short journey of shopping, day-dreaming, falling out - and in - of love, and we'll more shopping.
This is a fun, quick, humours read that will make you roll your eyes, laugh right out loud and in the end fall hopelessly in love with Kinsella.
There's definitely many more of her books going on my TBR!

Amazing book! Finished in a day. I was so completely stressed out by the debt and overspending that I had knots in my stomach.
I decided to pick this up for $2 at a sale after wanting to read it for a while. I loved the movie and thought the book would be even better. They were actually quite different stories. Overall, this is one of the handful of times I would say the movie is better than the book. Still, the book was quite good and the story is different enough from the movie to keep you interested.
Fantastic!! It had me laughing out loud the whole time. Sophie Kinsella really has a gift for creating great stories!
I have to have this series!!!
A quick read that brings you into Becky's life and takes you away from your own. Humorous, but I also feel sorry for Becky at times, because of her addiction to shopping and her inability to face the reality of her debts.
I really thought I'd read this book before, but it didn't feel familiar at all. I liked it a lot, though!
