A review by livres_de_bloss
Shopaholic & Baby by Sophie Kinsella
3.0
3.5
I was surprised I enjoyed this more than the previous instalment. Sure, it’s getting repetitive and Becky’s lying and spending is grating on my nerves but this was much more engaging than the previous book. (I just wish Danny would go away. He’s terrible. I was hoping he was a one-book feature but he’s back in all of his poncey twattery.)
Luke still winds me up. Why are they even together? He’s so disinterested and condescending. I did feel bad for Becky in this book. (I wish she’d just spoken with him about it but he’s kind of unapproachable so...) I also have to admit that even though Venetia was evil personified, I don’t quite disagree with her assertions about Becky being an airhead.
Yet I still like Becky.
Weird.
Although I will say again that now that she’s posh and wealthy, her antics aren’t quite as endearing. She’s just a spoilt brat now instead of a normal girl trying to find unique and clever ways to reign in her spending and pay her debts.
With that in mind, this isn’t the worst book in the series.
I was all prepared to stop at this book because the serious was waning a bit but I may continue after all!
