Irresistible, one-woman shopping phenomenon Becky Bloomwood is back in this hilarious, heartwarming, "New York Times" bestselling tale of married life, best friends, and long-lost sisters (and the perils of simply having to own an Angel handbag!).
From The Publisher:
Sophie Kinsella has conquered the hearts of millions with her New York Times bestselling Shopaholic novels, which feature the irresistible one-woman shopping phenomenon Becky Bloomwood. Now Becky's back in a hilarious, heartwarming tale of married life, best friends, and long-lost sisters (and the perils of simply having to own an Angel handbag!). What's a round-the-world honeymoon if you can't buy the odd souvenir to ship back home? Like the Chinese urns and twenty silk dressing gowns Becky found in Hong Kong...the five kilim rugs from Turkey...the splendid hand-carved dining table (and ten chairs) from Sri Lanka...the, um, huge wooden giraffes from Malawi (that her husband Luke expressly forbade her to buy)... Only now Becky and Luke have returned home to London and Luke is furious. Two truckloads of those souvenirs have cluttered up their usually immaculate loft, and the bills for them are outrageous. Becky's even maxed out on her second secret credit card, and she doesn't have a new job yet! Luke insists she go on a budget. And worse: her beloved best friend Suze has found a new best friend while Becky was away. Becky's feeling rather blue--when her parents deliver some incredible news. She has a long-lost sister! Becky is thrilled! She's convinced her sister will be a true soulmate. They'll go shopping together, drink cappuccinos together, have manicures together, and watch their favorite videos together. Until she meets Jessica for the first time and gets the shock of her life. Surely Becky Bloomwood's sister can't...hate shopping?

Not my favourite in the Shopaholic series, but that's not to say it's a bad read - all the books in the Shopaholic series are at times laugh-out-loud funny, easy reads. In this book, Becky discovers she has a sister, and the way she sees it, they are probably going to be joined at the hip best buddies when they meet. Highly recommended as something to take away with you to the beach or on holiday - you can devour it quickly or pick it up/put it down, and have a smile on your face while reading!
This book finds Becky at a bit of a loose end when she returns from her honeymoon. Becky has managed to buy THE bag at the conclusion of the honeymoon, but had to lie to her husband to do so. Becky gets into a bit of trouble with internet auction sites, and is feeling on the outer with her best friend. So, she decides to be best friends with the sister she never knew she had, but it doesn't go to well! Another hilarious book by Sophie Kinsella
I picked this up at the library unaware that there have been others in the series. Still, it was written in such a way, that you did not need to know the history of the characters to fully enjoy it.
Light reading and entertaining. Reminds me a bit of Sarah Strohmeyer
This series by Sophie Kinsella is great. A light hearted and funny book, this was chick lit at it's best. The shopaholic series are the only chick lit I read and enjoy. Light and fluffy, but funny all the same, this is a great book for the beach, sunday morning in bed, and just generally any time you want a quick easy mindless read. Read the whole series!
