thecosynook 's review for:
Confessions of a Shopaholic
by Sophie Kinsella
The story follows a young girl called Becky, she has a serious shopping problem and likes to avoid the bills that come through thinking that if she ignores them then they will go away. However as anyone knows, you cannot avoid bank bills as they continue to stack up and can become serious.
We follow Becky going through her daily life and seeing what she spends each day...which is actually quite a lot! At times she did become a little annoying as how could she clearly not see how much she was spending?! But that was just part of the story, we watched Becky mature and realise she needs to grow up and face her responsibilities. This book was immensely funny, you could so easily relate to her and I think that's why this book is so well liked. Pretty much everyone has avoided checking their balance as they know it won't be good. We have all seen a sale sign and brought things a little too expensive or things which we probably didn't need and will forget about as soon as we get home. Therefore the character of Becky is so down to earth and lovable, she has flaws. Sophie Kinsella hasn't tried to create a character which has a shopping problem but meets a rich guy who can afford to pay for her expensive habit, this is the real world where the bills still keep coming and no matter how much you dream of winning the lottery we both know it isn't really going to happen.
