Also called The Holiday Shopper. There seems to be a change in titles for some of the series when it was brought over to the US on Kindle.

I enjoyed this book. I find Carmen Reid's writing is very like Sophie Kinsella's which I like. The book had the right amount of comedic and touching moments. An easy and enjoyable read.

Annie is so annoying in this book. You would think Ed wouldn't put up with her.
She's far too over-zealous about pointless things. It put me off picking up the third one.

I picked this up at the library without realising it was the second in the series, and though I have the first [b:The Personal Shopper|1422694|The Personal Shopper (Annie Valentine, #1)|Carmen Reid|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183475500s/1422694.jpg|1413127] as marked as unread I think I must have read it at some stage as the characters in this were so familiar.
I admired Annie's ambition but felt her motives and behaviour were too self serving to be sympathetic. I was waiting for her to acknowledge her actions as at least a little unreasonable and redeem herself, but I felt that the consequences for here were token at best.
The story itself was okay, fairly predictable, though amusing enough in places. It probably doesn't help that I only own 3 pairs of shoes and one $20 handbag so I find the label dropping and lavicous descriptions of puffy sleeves and satin heels uninspiring. Mainly though I didn't much care for Annie so I didn't much care for her story.
