3.5 stars. I actually enjoyed this one so much more than the last several. I do hope it was the last in the series, though. It's been stretched out more than enough. Sophie Kinsella is talented enough with her standalones, she doesn't need more of Becky Bloomwood.

The best part of this book is I didn't want to constantly strangle Becky for being SO DANG DUMB like she usually is!!!

I've read other Kinsella books but this one was terrible.

I liked this book more than I have the last several in the series. Becky was more controlled and mature. This one picks up where the last book leaves off. Becky's father and Suze's husband ran off to Vegas to "put something right." The rest of the group rent an RV to go after them and make sure they are safe. Lots of hijinks and tests of friendships.

2.5/5
Generally not recommended unless you are an absolute completionist and for whatever reason can not leave this alone.

It's a decent enough wrap up, but it lacks heart. If you're considering this series, I recommend stopping at either Shopaholic Ties the Knot (#3) or Shopaholic & Baby (#5).

Loveable characters: Yes

Just light and fun. Becky always makes me laugh out loud.

Ok, clearly I did this to myself, but this series needs to be put out of its misery.

I was so disappointed when the last book left so many questions unanswered. It was basically all leading up to this book. I felt much more satisfied when everything was explained by the end of this book. It was a nice, light read, exactly what I expect from the Shopaholic books.

Becky Bloomwood is the greatest literary hero in history. Eat your heart out Harry Potter.

This one is better than the one before it. I enjoyed it. It was nice to see Becky actually grow a little. But, it may be time to let her go.
