Chaucerettescs | Mar 9, 2024 |    ) hellokirsti | Jan 3, 2024 | Oct 17, 2019 Trans world Digital Press Fiction, Holiday Rating: 4/5 8/8/19-8/17/19 I received a digital copy of this ARC from NetGalley and TransWorld Digital Press in exchange for an unbiased review. Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is at it again! She never fails to entertain with her dogged persistence to make things “perfect”! You can certainly read this as a stand alone book but once you finish you will want to read all the books before it! This saga that is easy to read and laugh out loud enjoyable. In this latest novel, her family decides that Becky will host Christmas. She isn’t sure she is up for the task initially but soon finds motivation to plan for the big event. When she asks for the guests input, there is a WhatsApp chain that send her spinning trying to please everyone. To confuse matter, her parents decide they will move to Shoreditch to rediscover their youth so that Becky’s sister, Jess and husband Tom have a place to stay during their visit. Coincidentally, Becky’s parents live next door to Tom’s parents. The ever-pleasing Becky sets about planning a holiday to accommodate her guests, including her uber environmentally cautious vegan sister. Meanwhile, Becky continues to work for her best friend, Suze who is married to Turquin Cleath-Stuart. They work together in the family’s Letherby gift shop while their children are in school. The story goes sideways when Becky has to juggle her job and planing for Christmas. Although she prides herself on her perfectionist mentality, it often sends her and those around her on a rollercoaster ride. Her life becomes more complicated when an old boyfriend, Craig Curton, comes to town. Becky reminisces her “edgy” youth partying with Craig and his band. Typical Becky entertains us with her trials and tribulations of juggling too many balls in the air. True to form just when it seems like everything is bursting at the seams, things oddly find an equilibrium that is only possible for Becky.

It's been a while since I literally laughed out loud at a book, but I should have known--whenever she's at peak form, I find myself snorting inappropriately loud. This was filled with delightfull moments and so much sprygge and true Christmas spirit. ( ) whakaora | Mar 5, 2023 |  ) Raffaella10 | Jan 28, 2023 | no reviews | add a review

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella returns with a festive new Shopaholic adventure filled with holiday cheer and unexpected gifts. 'Tis the season for change and Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is embracing it, returning from the States to live in the charming village of Letherby and working with her best friend, Suze, in the gift shop of Suze's stately home. Life is good, especially now that Becky takes time every day for mindfulness . . . which actually means listening to a meditation tape while hunting down online bargains. But Becky still adores the traditions of Christmas: Her parents host, carols play on repeat, her mother pretends she made the Christmas pudding, and the neighbors come 'round for sherry in their terrible holiday sweaters. Things are looking cheerier than ever, until Becky's parents announce they're moving to ultra-trendy Shoreditch-unable to resist the draw of craft beer and smashed avocados-and ask Becky if she'll host this year. What could possibly go wrong? Her sister demands a vegan turkey, her husband insists that he just wants aftershave-again, and little Minnie demands a very specific picnic hamper: Surely Becky can manage all this, as well as the surprise appearance of an old-boyfriend-turned-rock-star and his pushy new girlfriend, whose motives are far from clear. But as the countdown to Christmas begins and her big-hearted plans take an unexpected turn toward disaster, Becky starts to wonder if chaos will ensue, or if she'll manage to bring comfort and joy to Christmas after all.
