anniecase45 's review for:
Confessions of a Shopaholic
by Sophie Kinsella
Rebecca Bloomwood just hit rock bottom. But she's never looked better.... Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London's trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season's must-haves. The only trouble is that she can't actually afford it--not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Savings not only bores her to tears, it doesn't pay much at all. And lately Becky's been chased by dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bank--letters with large red sums she can't bear to read--and they're getting ever harder to ignore.
If I had written this review when I was on pg.100, I would have given the book four stars. I was whipping through it, thoroughly enjoying the shopping sprees, the tension with the bank, the misinformed attempts to cut back and then earn more money. Kinsella's pacing was incredibly fun and light, a perfect chick lit read. But as the book wore on, I found my patience wearing thin. I think she lost her way midway through and the main storyline at this point of Becky's financial article was just tiresome after a point. I know this is not meant to be a classic, but you still hope the book will be the best it can be for what it's trying to accomplish. Overall, I really liked Becky's story, but I didn't think it was worth 310 pages.
