I had moments while reading that I realized that Rebecca Bloomwood-Brandon is a complete idiot! She definitely has more blonde moments than can be counted on one hand. I, however, could not put the book down and always wanted to know how things would turn out. To say that she gets herself into some crazy situations, is an understatement. The ending was a bit of a surprise even though I know the next book is Shopaholic and Baby. Kinsella did a good job setting up the events in this book to follow into the next. I am realizing now that I have read most of her book and do not think there are many more left to go. She has definitely won me over as a read and I know that her books while often quick reads are enjoyable and have me laughing out loud, sucking my teeth, or wondering what planet this girl is from.

I would have liked this book better if Becky wasn't a completely unlikable character. She's unbelievably stupid, and incredibly self-centered while at the same time not being aware of how she comes across to others at all. And of course, at the end the author makes it so she was right about everything and everyone just loves her. No, just no. That's not how life works. Thank goodness this was the last Shopaholic book I needed to read to complete my reading of the series. I don't ever want to be in this girl's head again.

I wait at least half a year between these Shopaholic books because Becky (the shopaholic)can really drive me nuts, but she is such a likeable person, I'm always willing to give her another chance--just not immediately. This was my favorite of her stories so far. I don't think there was as much of her crazy out-of-control shopping. Or it was tempered enough by her frugal (and also at times to a drive-you-crazy extreme as bad as Becky's)sister. The copy I read was large print--I don't know if that could have made a difference too--I'm weird about what effects me when I read sometimes--esp. when I read fluff!

Hmmm, this is the last Shopaholic book that I would bother reading as they get progressively worse from here. Becky started off as a great character but she grew more fickle and feckless over time and you almost WANT her life to go wrong in the hopes that this time she will learn from it. She won't. This lack of character growth ruined the series for me.

If you like to listen to books on tapes, this is a great one. I love English accents. And it was so fun to listen to. I love Sophie Kinsella books and this didn't disappoint. The shopaholic series usually causes me great anxiety, but listening to this book didn't make my heart start racing like reading does.

Quick goofy read. She hasn't learned a thing... but that's why I read these books... Lol
