jessicarc88 's review for:

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
2.0

I found myself hating Rebecca. She was annoying, conceited and an airhead. But I enjoyed the financial aspect of this book. I could relate to talking myself into a purchase, or telling myself that I earned the right to treat myself (although, my treats are mostly food based...). I was disappointed that the way she gets out of her debt problems was by getting a slot on a TV show. She didn't learn to curb her spending habits. She as a person did not really change, she just landed more easy money that she (finally a smart decision) used to pay off some bills. And if she marries the love interest in this book she's going to continue to have out of control spending, just with less of a chance of going into debt.
