It was really hilarious and it made me smile a lot. Plus there were many Hayeeee moments. The friendship between Suze and Becky made me understand quite a few things.
I know the Shopaholic books are always about Becky making bad decisions and finding herself in trouble, and it's never really bothered me before. But, throughout this whole book I just wanted to shake her and tell her you can't have two weddings! I felt like this was the most unbelievable in the Shopaholic series so far. I can see someone getting into a bunch of debt, and hiding it from your family, coming up with stupid lies and hiding things from your boyfriend, but this--who plans two weddings? It just bugged me that she couldn't just decide which wedding she wanted! She knew the right choice to make (she hates Elinor so why would she ever agree to plan a wedding with her?) and she should have made it in the beginning and saved us all from having to read the entire book with her being spoiled/superficial/greedy. I'm hoping the next book brings the old Becky back that I actually liked and didn't find annoying.
[b:Shopaholic Ties the Knot|9419|Shopaholic Ties the Knot (Shopaholic, #3)|Sophie Kinsella|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165966998s/9419.jpg|2992357] has the same charm and laughs the rest of the series, however the summary on the back cover is pretty much the plot of the entire book. I had imagined the double wedding plans being initiated further along or at least her reaching a decision sooner. Instead, most of the book is about Becky being unable to choose which wedding she would like and I found myself rolling my eyes right around the halfway mark every time Becky's indecision was brought up.
It is worth reading if you are a completionist, like me, and prefer to read books in order. Otherwise, you can feel comfortable in sitting this one out.
Recommended for those that are fans of the series and plan on reading the last two books as well.

Every problem I had with the first book carried over into this book and I honestly don't know why I continued with this series when it made me so frustrated. Becky is still selfish, quite stupid, and unbelievably frustrating. I understand the premise of this series is that she has no self control but I didn't think reading about it would be so infuriating.
This one was a lot better than the first two books, seeing as how the plot isn't rehashed and there is some real conflict.
Lots of fun to read when you're feeling down.

This series is just so much fun and what a ride to wedding plan with Becky Bloomwood! Take one of the most stressful and monumental days and mix it with the impulsive and impetuous nature of Becky and you have a hilarious ride. Through all the craziness is a love story that has run through all 3 of these books and it's so touching and sweet. I'm totally here for this series, love every moment!
Az alapkonfliktus mellett, hogy Becky nem tud dönteni, s az utolsó pillanatig feszíti a húrt, s igyekszik egyedül megbirkózni a teherrel amit a titkolózás és az állandó lelkiismeret furdalás jelent, még Luke élete is alapjaiban rázódik meg.
Szóval pont az a zseniális Kinsella regényében, hogy elhagyja a vásárlási láz vonalat, illetve főhőse boltkóros volta kicsit háttérbe szorul az egyéb problémák miatt. Ezért tud friss és szórakozató maradni a sorozata.

see previous reviews for other books in the series.... they're all the same.
i cannot get over the dreamworld a few of these characters live in. anyone would think they're the sun and everything revolves around them. it's ridiculous!! (but i can't stop reading...)

This book took me almost a month to read and I'm very surprised I even finished it. It had nothing to do with the writing, rather with how busy I've been.
Becky was a whirlwind in this book, and yes sometimes she made mistakes where I questioned her sanity, but the novel was all in good fun!

For those who have had to plan a wedding, it can be extremely stressful at times while fun and exciting at others. For Rebecca Bloomfield it seems to be more about a matter of pleasing everyone involved with the plans. As a result, she quickly finds herself in the middle of her mother’s plans for a nice English wedding and a lavish and expensive Manhattan wedding planned by her future mother-in-law. Luke Brandon, Becky’s fiancé, leaves the planning and decisions completely to Becky while he pours more of his energy into his work and his mother’s charity organization. And Becky, ever afraid of confrontation and disappointing those around her, must again reach into herself for a creative solution to the ballooning problems in her life. I was not as impressed with this book as with her previous two, although I did enjoy the story overall. Becky is always an amusing character to read about and her antics and logic make for many chuckles.
