A quick fun read and the random workings of Rebeccas mind reminds me of me lol...

Rebecca was so adorable and real I couldn’t stop rooting for her through every event that happened. I wish the book was longer surprisingly! I must see Rebecca and Luke get their happy ending so I’m excited to read the next book in this series.

I suppose you can guess the plot of this book from the title. Rebecca is a bit obsessed with shopping (can you feel the drips from my sarcasm?) Her daily shopping sprees have run her into a pound or two of debt, which she manages to put out of her mind by: shopping some more! Her shopping prowess and command of London style serves her well as she searches the urban jungle for the "perfect" scarf, luggage, make-up etc. etc. etc. to make her feel as good as new once again.

She is bored to tears by her job doing, ironically enough, financial writing and she spends much thought on how to improve her circumstances. Cut back? Make more money? Marry a millionaire? All are options to be tested out.

I loved the first person narrative of this book - it slayed me, making me laugh out loud. Her constant stream of consciousness monologue is witty and incredibly entertaining. It's a fine piece of chick lit fluff. Sometimes she drove me batty with her rationalizing and ability to get into horrible situations. A couple times I had to just set down the book and take a quick break because of the horribleness. But, I was enjoying myself all the while, of course :)

I enjoy this series for what it is, silly chic lit. It is an easy read and a fun story. The plot of the books gets sillier with each addition to the series.

I hate chicklits. One of the worst genre ever invented.
