will love Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Another adventure with my favorite chick lit chick. I wish I was invited to that New York wedding... ( )Loved it!! It's not my favorite of the Shopaholic series so far, but still kept my interest the entire time! Not as good as the first two. There are still some very funny parts but the solution to Becky's problem is very apparent to the reader early on. Yet it takes Becky forever to figure it out on her own. Meanwhile all the vacillating she does just comes off as annoying instead of entertaining. i just finish reading this book hours ago and i absolutely love it! Points for the character development, unexpected turnout and satisfying (extremely) ending. Ok, maybe i’m exaggerating, and i’m bias towards Kinsella, but hey, this is a good follow-up of shopaholic’s series. Points for originality too, the plots, the storyline, it’s all just so gorgeous. And i love Suze and Ernie, i love Suze’s concern, Suze’s being a great friend, Luke’s charming, Luke’s breakdown, Luke’s vulnerability, Elinor’s botox, Elinor’s inner person, Michael’s helpfulness, Michael’s caring’ness’, Becky’s dumbness, Becky’s wittyness, Becky’s plan, Becky’s ending, and the ending, omg, i almost fall on tears because i’m too touched. however no, i did not cry. yes yes i know i’ve been giving spoilers, just that if you’re following the shopaholic series, or, following kinsella even, don’t miss this book. Shopaholic Ties the Knot… because u only do it once. Don’t you? (yeah right! LOL) Points: 9 out of 10. (5 points for my likeness, and 4 for originality, plot, quality, character, bla bla bla) (well actually, minus 1 point because i took quite a time to finish this book. i should actually able to finish this book in 2 days! This book lack the ‘driving’ factor, especially the first half. But other than that, it’s satisfying!) I like Becky most when she is actually proactive instead of just ignoring all the stuff she doesn't like around her. She's certainly warm-hearted - but why doesn't she say what she wants or needs a little more?? I can't say that I love this series, but there is something that makes me keep coming back - maybe the hope that this time around Becky will be a little more of that smart & capable woman that every once in awhile she manages to pull off. no reviews | add a review
