Meet Rebecca Bloomwood. She's a journalist. She spends her working life telling others how to manage their money. She spends her leisure time...shopping. Retail therapy is the answer to all her problems. She knows she should stop, but she can't. She tries Cutting Back, she tries Making More Money. But neither seems to work. The stories she concocts become more and more fantastic as she tries to untangle her increasingly dire financial difficulties. Her only comfort is to buy herself something - just a little something...Can Becky ever escape from this dream world, find true love, and regain the use of her Switch card? "The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic..." is the perfect pick me up for when it's all hanging in the (bank) balance.
This is the first of Sophie Kinsella's "Shopaholic" Series also known as "Confessions of a shopaholic", unlike the first reviewer I was fortunate that I only borrowed "Confessions of a Shopaholic" thinking it was a different book, so read one or the other. This is a light read, something you can read and understand after work without too much concentration needed, a chic-lit and definitely a must read for shopaholics. Very entertaining and certainly very humorous with a touch of romance for good measure. Once I read this book I had to read the rest.
A decent book. For the women who think that they have a problem with shopping excesses, this book is a MUST-READ. A comforting novel for any woman who feels that her shopping habits are out of control - you are not as bad as Becky Bloomwood. Humorous, but at times heart-wreching, The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic is sure to entertain.
Awesome book. If you like shopping, but don't think you have a problem then you must read this book! It's an extremely funny, ditzy book that you will be able to relate to. Well worth the read.
very very funny didnt stop laughing till i put the book down as is the case with all of her books. Brilliant author if you are looking for a funny book with laughs eqivalent to the that of Friends with some romance thrown in for good measure then you should read any one of sophie kinsella's books and be entertained!
