Somehow, I got really, really tired of Becky's whiny attitude and how she felt like the world owed her something and she needed shopping like breathing. Which was completely tiring , and dull. Over and Over. I got the third book in this series but i don't think I'll be touching that one. ( ) This was the second in the Shopaholic series. My favourite part about this book was definitely in watching how Becky accustomed to the United States and found the differences in culture. She definitely might have a skewed perception, but small details were very amusing, such as her reaction to the gym. I felt like I saw her mature when events in the second half of the book stirred her world up and forced her to move a little into reality. I was glad that misfortune had struck her as her world was beginning to feel a little too perfect, so the drama was good. Becky proved herself to be more real in this book and I appreciated how she grew as a character. The ultimate solution was highly entertaining, and I feel like the book had a very satisfying ending. I enjoyed this one more than the first, and think it would stand well if read alone. Sophie Kinsella is one of my favorite British authors and the SHOPAHOLIC series is quickly becoming one of my favorites by her (I actually started with her standalones first—which are also great reads.) In this second book in the series, Becky is enjoying success in her television series, is dating Luke, but is still having a bit of an issue managing her shopping habits. Is anyone surprised. The fun in this series is how relatable Becky is, with her Brigit Jones-like scrapes, her attempts to stop overspending that always go awry, and snotty office workers and neighbors who cause her to get into the most comical situations. Just like book one, I ate up every chapter. She and Luke are an item now, so seeing their relationship struggles as they contemplate a potential move to New York was a new and interesting piece.
