Book Synopsis

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes “a hilarious tale . . . hijinks worthy of classic I Love Lucy episodes . . . too good to pass up.” (USA Today)

“Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover

Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London’s trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season’s must-haves. The only trouble is, she can’t actually afford it—not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Saving magazine not only bores her to tears, it doesn’t pay much at all. And lately Becky’s been chased by dismal letters from the bank—letters with large red sums she can’t bear to read. She tries cutting back. But none of her efforts succeeds. Her only consolation is to buy herself something . . . just a little something.
 
Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life—and the lives of those around her—forever.

Praise for Sophie Kinsella and Confessions of a Shopaholic
 
“Kinsella’s Bloomwood is plucky and funny. . . . You won’t have to shop around to find a more winning protagonist.”People

“If a crème brûlée could be transmogrified into a book, it would be Confessions of a Shopaholic.”The Star-Ledger

“A have-your-cake-and-eat-it romp, done with brio and not a syllable of moralizing. . . . Kinsella has a light touch and puckish humor.”Kirkus Reviews

    What a great escape from daily life
  • Cute, but some minor complaints

    I had watched the movie before I even knew this was based on a book! The two are complete opposites, so don't think that you'll get the whole experience by reading one and not watching the movie or vise versa. The book was cute, but it fell flat in some places. There is really childish dialogue, some overuse of adverbs, and a bit of cliches. Overall, it is a quick read if you are looking for some time to burn.
  • Mindless dribble

    But, I wasn't looking for another epic novel,just kinda mindless reading which it was. Kinda book just to slow ur day down,not get worked up and have to see what happens next & all worked up and stay up too late reading or not being able to put down. Just fun mindless read.
