Search - Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic, Bk 1)

Hilarious, quirky and fun to read. You'll love it.

This book is so reminiscent of "Bridget Jones Diary" and a delight to read. Very light, humorous reading. A great summer read. I recommend this book to anyone who is ready to sit down and forget about their worries.
Becky Bloomwood is an indisputable shopaholic. She is in debt up to her ears, yet keeps refusing to respond to her debtors. While this should not be and doesn't sound funny -- it is! How she gets out of this dilemma is unexpected and surprising. Just when you think she's down for the count, she rises! Unfortunately, being that she is in England, some of the shops she speaks about aren't familiar to me, but any American can picture another high-end shop or brand in its place and come out understanding Becky full well. (I was in England and in London once, but I didn't shop at the stores that are mentioned, except for Marks and Spencer, and I get the feeling Marks and Spencer [which is somewhat like Macy's here]is not "posh" enough for Rebecca Bloomwood.)

I had trouble getting into it and never felt myself relating to the main character. It was a quick enough read, though, and the ending is good.

HATED this book, just felt like it emphasized a totally materialistic woman who had an unhealthy shopping addiction. How did they write so many more books about her?

I so enjoyed this book and recommend it to all my girlfriends. You will want to read the whole series. She will keep you laughing.

This book was a little hard for me to get into but the farther I read the most interesting it became. Overall an OK book.
