Shopaholic Takes Manhattan


by Sophie Kinsella


Becky Bloomwood is now a household name in London since she has been appearing on a daily talk show as their financial expert. She and Luke are a real item. She is finally out of debt. Well, she was but the shopping she has been doing has been controlled...somewhat.


Then Luke springs Manhattan on her. He is starting a new business there and wants her to come with him. She will find a job on American television and life will be perfect. Once there, however, she just can't fight the lure of the 5th Avenue shop windows. When a tabloid exposes her as a shopaholic with no real understanding of personal finance her life is turned upside down and when she needs Luke the most he is not there for her.


In typical 'I Love Lucy' fashion she does eventually find a surprising way out of all the mess. Kinsella had me laughing out loud yet again. Looking forward to #3, Shopaholic ties the Knot.
