funny lighthearted slow-paced

The first one of this series is my favorite but this is a close second. They are all pretty similar but there's something extra humorous about multiple weddings and family drama in this Bloomwood's world.

It may have taken me over two years to finally finish this book, (with my own wedding happening inbetween!!) but it was definitely worth it. Sophie Kinsella never disappoints.

Reading "Shopaholic Ties the Knot," I couldn't help but see myself in Becky, especially when she pretends not to want to get married because she thinks Luke isn't planning on proposing anytime soon. I would have done the same, without a doubt.

I'm so happy for Suze and Tarquin—they make such a sweet couple. And I’m glad that Becky and Suze are always there to support each other no matter what.

Becky and Luke’s relationship faces a significant crisis in this chapter, yet I still find them to be an adorable (if not perfect) couple. They may seem very different on the surface, but in reality, they’re both struggling with addictions: Becky is a shopaholic, while Luke is a workaholic.

Danny is incredibly sweet, and I always find myself smiling whenever he appears. He may not be the most responsible friend, but he’s always there to help Becky out of any situation.

The email exchanges with the bank employee are some of the best parts of the book. It’s delightful to see how Becky gradually gets to know him, and in the end, they reveal his true identity to her.

I absolutely adore Laurel, Becky’s client at Barneys. Her strong character and sharp wit are so refreshing, and the way she saves Becky’s situation at the end is nothing short of brilliant.

Becky’s boss at Barneys, Christina, is also wonderful—kind and supportive, offering Becky genuinely helpful advice.

The way the wedding story concludes is actually the best possible outcome. I’m so happy for Becky and Luke. 

Overall, I loved this book and couldn’t put it down. It’s a fast-paced, enjoyable read that had me hooked from start to finish.

Becky is as quirky as ever but some of it was way overblown. A good quick read.

This was an amazing read. This is my eighth Sophie Kinsella story, and third book of the Shopaholic series. I loved every minute of it. The humor in her stories makes the book more enjoyable. I loved Becky. She is a silly, yet lovable main female character. Luke is an amazing male character. He may be an entrepreneur, but I love how he is able to love Becky even though she has her flaws and quirks.

Like the first two books, Becky receives a statement that is huge. Although she has money problems, she finds a way to solve the issue and she, in turn, becomes a much better human being. This series just keeps getting better and better. I love how we got to see more of Becky's character developed in this book. She truly is changing and I think it is for the better. Also, I am happy Luke and Becky got their happily ever after. Now, it is time to see how life will treat them. Overall, an incredible read.

It’s been a while since I read the first 2 books from the series. And I needed some time to warm up to Luke, he seemed a little indifferent at first. And Becky saw the catastrophes coming, so why didn’t she do anything to prevent them? But still, she is such a likeable figure, that you just hope with her, that everything turns out for the better. And you can’t stop laughing at her mishaps, the book ist over far too soon.

The usual case is romance stories end with the joining together of hero and heroine. Its all "happily ever after" that follows. As our matrimonial sites show (only applicable to arranged marriage system countries), the main expense/trouble is to find the bride or groom. But could the wedding itself be problematic - after all the hardships of reaching the altar? That is what this third novel in the shopaholic series is about. As someone has once said, "marriages are enjoyable,... if they are someone else's".

I guess I couldn't relate to the characters or story. The whole idea seemed pretentious, and I couldn't get into this book.
