Well this book is interesting. It took me awhile to get into it, but honestly it wasn't that bad.
i really liked this book the first time i read it (i was either 12 or 13, and busy borrowing books from my mom's shelves), and i remember thinking "oh, so THIS is how my mom feels!" (because she was a self-proclaimed shopaholic- i think she definitely still is) and understanding her a bit better after that.
now, re-reading this at 24... i did not like it, at ALL. i guess my frontal lobe IS fully developed or something, lol. reading about the mc's thoughts and her way of thinking made me lose a few gray cells, and i wish i was kidding. i'm glad things worked out for her in the end but seriously... i think feminism went two steps backwards with this one.
i will obviously not be re-reading the rest of the books in the series for fear of losing even more gray cells.

Not much of a plot. A lot of brand name dropping. Still an entertaining read if you want something light.

OK, yes, this series is chick lit, but it is hilarious. It is the only true chick lit novel I have enjoyed since Bridget Jones. Plus, if you love to shop, like me, you will get a certain satisfaction out of knowing someone has worse spending habits than you do! All of the series is cute and funny, easy light reading for the summer.
