Life has been good to Becky Bloomwood: She??s become the top personal shopper at Barneys and she??s living happily with her boyfriend, Luke, in Manhattan??s West Village. But with her best friend, Suze, engaged, how can Becky fail to notice that her own ring finger is bare? Not that she??s been thinking about marriage (or diamonds) or anything.  
Then Luke proposes! Problem is, two other people are planning her wedding: Becky??s overjoyed mother??who has been waiting forever to host a backyard wedding, with the bride resplendent in Mum??s frilly old gown; and her high-society soon-to-be mother-in-law??who insists on a glamorous, all-expenses-paid affair at the Plaza. Both weddings, on separate continents, on the same day . . . and Becky can??t seem to turn down either one. Can everyone??s favorite shopaholic tie the knot before everything unravels?

I liked this one so much better than Takes Manhattan. This was an enjoyable escape while I have been quarantined with covid ( )

This was the third in the Shopaholic series.

At one point in this book, I had to stop reading because I grew so uncomfortable with the situation that Becky had got herself into. It was literally stressing me out. But I think this just shows how compelling of a character Becky is and how realistic her life had become to me.

This book of the series so far would be the best to be made into a movie. The vivid imagery and the beautiful scenes envisioned would be a delight to see on the screen, and Becky's designer friend could really shine.

I appreciated the details of the Plaza, which reminded me a little of the Princess Diaries.

In this book, Luke grew a lot as a character. I've appreciated how he'd been slowly built through the previous two books, and this took him to another level. He became very real, instead of just being a power playing workaholic, and we learned a lot about his past. The ultimate resolution was very satisfying, and again showed how Becky can be a very strong person when she's needed.

For the most part, this felt a little superficial, but this was still a fun read. ( )

Simpatico e divertente, forse il più esilarante della serie. Una Beckie che appare del tutto frivola ma che nasconde invece un gran cuore e una grande forza nonostante tutti i pasticci che riesce a creare, anche per il suo matrimonio.
Effettive quattro stelle e mezzo. ( )

When Becky and Luke get engaged, they have mothers on both sides of the ocean wanting to plan the wedding and have it held in England (Becky’s mom) and New York City (Luke’s mom). As the mothers plan in different countries, Becky just can’t decide where she wants to have her wedding… and the plans continue onward with neither mother knowing the other mother is also planning! And Becky just can’t seem to come to a decision and can’t bring herself to tell anyone the crisis she’s having in trying to decide – she doesn’t want to let anyone down.

I feel like “chick lit” is not the kind of thing I think I would like, but when I do read it, I really do (most of the time) tend to really enjoy it! This book (and series) is no exception there (even though I don’t shop, am not “into” fashion, and I often get annoyed with Becky. I did feel like I had a solution for her early(ish) on in the book, and it kind-of (but not completely) went how I was thinking. But, I still enjoyed the ride (even when I was frustrated with Becky). There was a more serious side to this one, as well, involving Luke and his mother. ( )
