A fun quick read, starring Becky Bloomwood, queen of funky finance as she shops her way across the pond and back. Some nice chick lit, and fun even for those of us who are not so much into the fashion thing. I still get a kick out of this character, her friends and her relationships. The wedding scene was so cringingly great! Sophie Kinsella is an enjoyable writer and I was not disappointed with book 2 in the series. (

Funny, annoying, and exhilarating. (

The shopaholic books are always a fun bit of fluff. Once you know Becky Bloomwood, it's fairly easy to guess exactly how her best-laid plans are going to fall apart, but that doesn't make the trip there any less entertaining. (

i finish half this book around 1 week or so and another half around 1 night. and yeah, sometimes i’m just a bit pissed about how useless Rebecca are. I mean, how dumb. But hey, sometimes that’s how, and what human do. But at times, she manage to fix back her problem, and that’s the wonderfulness of this book. (I mean, kinda think of it, that’s what stories do, don’t they? Messed up their own self and fix it.)

So, this book tells further story about Rebecca, her life and her addiction. Read if you’re interested.

I give 8.5 out of 10. Just because how charming Luke are. (Should i really give points? And sometimes i don’t even know what my points base for. do of my likeness, or quality of the book itself?) (

I'm glad the character seems to be gaining some depth as a person. She was very superficial and materialist (she is only 26!) and in this book she seems to be learning and growing in a way that makes me happy for her. (

“This expensive, glossy world is where I’ve been headed all along. Limos and flowers; waxed eyebrows and designer clothes from Barneys. These are my people; this is where I’m meant to be.”
–Becky Bloomwood

Universally beloved by readers, Sophie Kinsella’s national bestseller, Confessions of a Shopaholic, introduced the irrepressible one-woman shopping phenomenon, Becky Bloomwood. Now, in this hilarious follow-up, Becky and her credit cards are headed across the Atlantic....

With her shopping excesses (somewhat) in check and her career as a TV financial guru thriving, Becky’s biggest problem seems to be tearing her entrepreneur boyfriend, Luke, away from work for a romantic country weekend. And worse, figuring out how to “pack light.” But packing takes on a whole new meaning when Luke announces he’s moving to New York for business–and he asks Becky to go with him!

Before you can say “Prada sample sale,” Becky has landed in the Big Apple, home of Park Avenue penthouses and luxury department stores.

Surely it’s only a matter of time until she becomes an American TV celebrity, and she and Luke are the toast of Gotham society. Nothing can stand in their way, especially with Becky’s bills miles away in London.

But then an unexpected disaster threatens her career prospects, her relationship with Luke, and her available credit line! Shopaholic Takes Manhattan–but will she have to return it?
