It was so fun and smart but the series has devolved into the same thing over and again. The sister character was so unlikeable and Becky became ridiculous and silly on a whole new level. I really did not like this book. (  ) brainella | Sep 15, 2009 |  Gosh… Kinsella never fails to amazed or amused me and lights me up every time with the shopaholic’s series and books. I’m starting to like Becky, though sometimes she gets on my nerve. But somehow i think i can relate to her. In fact, she starts to resemble more like Emma, the protagonist in Can U Keep A Secret?. With her secrets, and hidden, ignorance, naughty thoughts. It’s hillarious, laugh-out-loud and thoroughly enjoyable with her daring experiences, impulsive acts, and moments that’ll bring smile to your face. And we can actually see Becky has grown up a lot through out the series, from the very first book till now, the character matures, although at times still acted stupidly, but hey, she manages it in the end, solves the problem, despite certain rash actions on her side. Sometimes it makes people wishing that even though things might gone wrong at certain point in their life, in the end everything should manage and turn out well. So anyhow, this book is a very enjoyable read, excellent plot and story line, and not to be missed if you’ve followed Shopaholic’s adventures. I’m soo looking forward to reading Shopaholic & Baby next. Points: 8.8 out of 10.(Because of Becky, Luke, Jess, Angel bag and chocolates made out of potatoes.) p/s: oh and plsss don’t try to imagine isla and hugh as becky and luke throughout the book. It’ll ruin your imagination, really. As i said, the movie better off stands on its own. (  ) iynn512 | Aug 15, 2009 | I was a little wary of reading Shopaholic and Sister because a) the plot sounded so stupid and b) I didn't think the series could go anywhere after Shopaholic Ties the Knot. Silly me. The weirdness of the plot was explained in, I thought, a very straight-forward way that made it sound almost reasonable. And while I still didn't think it was entirely necessary to the series, I did like that we got to see what Becky and Luke were like after the honeymoon was over. And, even better, I think we even got a deeper insight into Becky's personality! And Luke as well, which I really enjoyed-- I've wanted to know more about him ever since he was first introduced. He was always a bit of an enigma to me, so I was glad for the details Ms. Kinsella included about him. Huzzah! Shopaholic and Sister turned out to be a really cute addition to the Shopaholic series, with some wonderful new characters and even a little bit of character growth. Yay! ( )1  herebebooks | May 31, 2009 | A fun read full of the humor from Sohpie Kinsella that I love, but it wasn't my favorite of the series. I think that Becky is a wonderful character, but I thought that the characters of Luke and Jess were so incredibly mean, that in fact, they were more shallow than what they said of Becky. Despite her shopping and finanical mess, I believe Becky is truly a good person and I didn't think this book gave her the justice she deserved. (  ) italianglamprincess | Mar 16, 2009 | I really enjoyed the first three Shopaholic books. This one not so much. I didn't really care for the character of the Sister. I am hoping Shopaholic and Baby will be better. ( ) mnbird | Jan 9, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 044024191X, Mass Market Paperback)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? From the Hardcover edition.
