I can tend to be a shopaholic myself when im not broke and i loved the indulgences in this book :D totally awesome
Mi fa rilassare tantissimo questo libro. È proprio comfort. L'ho letto un po' di tempo fa e questa rilettura ci voleva, ora!
Poi Becky è fantastica, mi fa morire dal ridere! È così scombinata da essere quasi geniale. E d'altronde, chi di noi non ha mai fatto finta di niente di fronte a delle responsabilità che ci creano tanta ansia?
Comunque, ho ascoltato l'audiolibro su Audible, letto da Marta Lucini, e devo dire che l'interpretazione è stata a dir poco brillante. La lettrice è riuscita a dare il tono perfetto al libro e a coinvolgermi totalmente con una modulazione della voce perfetta per ogni episodio, per ogni colpo di scena, per ogni riga proprio.
Mi è piaciuto tantissimo l'uso della prima persona e del tempo presente, cosa che di solito non mi prende tanto, ma questa volta è stata resa benissimo l'interiorità di Becky. È proprio stupendo il modo di scrivere della Kinsella.

I wanted to like this book, I did, but I couldn't. I kept thinking "okay, stop shopping now. Stop. Just... just stop." This book is not for people who really watch their money. It had poor editing too. One one page, the narrator would say "I sat down next to mum..." then on the very next page it would say "Sitting down at the patio table next to mum..." So... basically she sat down twice? I put the book down about 1/3 of the way in.

The first half of the book was very repetitive and I almost DNF’d it but then it finally made a turn where there was something that actually started happening so I held on. It was an ok book if you’re looking for a bit of fluff and light heartedness.
This was a fun read. It was not anything that requires thinking or much focus, but is a great beach read.

Sometimes you just need a book that can take your mind away from life and simply enjoy reading just for the fun of it.
The story follows Rebecca (Becky) Bloomwood - a 25 year-old financial journalist who can't seem to manage her own finances - as she tries to come up with ways to get herself out of debt. While each plan she hatches manages to fail miserably and hilariously, the only thing left to do is hit the shops and buy a little something to help her cheer up... and the vicious cycle.
I thoroughly enjoyed the author's writing and character development. I had quite a few laugh out loud moments.
I’ll definitely be reading more Sophie Kinsella after this.
This is one book that’s been on my Kindle for years and I never got around to reading it. Mainly because I made the mistake of watching the movie first. While I love Isla Fisher’s other movies, this one was a miss for me. I’m happy to say the book is a lot better than the movie.
If you're a fan of chick-lit or in the mood for a light read, I highly recommened this book.
