Book Reviews of Shopaholic & Sister (Shopaholic Series)
Book Review: Shopaholic turns Frugal - Finally!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, the fourth book in the series starts off with Rebecca (Bloomwood)Brandon still stuck in her aggressively shopaholic ways, and to my great dismay and disgust, she repeats behaviors from the past that only land her in a heap of hot water!!! Can't she ever learn? Rebecca tells a huge white lie, which always snowballs rapidly into a glacier of deciet and consequently ruins the trust of everyone around her. She is the ultimate woman that nobody wants to know any longer! Honestly, it starts to get old, but the author, Sophie Kinsella is still able to keep the story line spinning in a most entertaining fashion. It's nice to hear of her best friend Suze, grow up to be a mature modern mother and wife, and the story sparkles most of the book through. The problem is that her newfound half-sister is a miserly tight-wad, and doesn't enjoy the shopping whims of Rebecca. They clash, and then something extraordinary happens that brings them close to one another. It's a bit far-fetched and somewhat unbeleiveable, but her sister saves the story line because she causes Rebecca to examine her immature freewheeling spendthrift ways and corrals her into being frugal. YES - frugal!
I ended up not liking either person at all, but the story still held my intense interest throuhout the book. That's the thing about Sophie Kinsella's writing; she really knows how to draw a reader in, hold them suspended in disbelief, and then she lets them down for a surprise ending again and again! Amazing writing! I enjoyed this book, but honestly, Rebecca needs to quit the spending act and become a more responsible, economical shopper; one who realizes she can only use so much in her lifetime, and what about the rest of the world who isn't so endowed? I LOVED the book, especially the parts that made me laugh aloud.Now you go ahead and buy the 4 book series like I did. Easy and fast reading that all shoplucky gals will LOVE!!!!
Summary of Shopaholic & Sister (Shopaholic Series)
What?s a round-the-world honeymoon if you can?t buy the odd souvenir to ship back home? Like the twenty silk dressing gowns Becky found in Hong Kong?the 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 loft, and the bills for them are outrageous. Luke insists Becky 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, have manicures 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?Sophie Kinsella is a former financial journalist and the author of the bestselling novels Confessions of a Shopaholic, Shopaholic Takes Manhattan, Shopaholic Ties the Knot, Can You Keep a Secret?, and The Undomestic Goddess. She lives in England, where she is at work on her next book.
