Search - Shopaholic & Baby

This was very cute - a nice finish to this fun series. It wasn't my favorite of the five, but it wasn't the worst either - strangely, I think it is the first one that I liked the least. Still, it's a fun series and reading it has been a great way to usher in spring!

Kind of extra light...at this point, getting a little tired of the repitition.

Sophie Kinsella does it again! Her protagonist, Becky (Bloomwood) Brandon, is the literary equivalent of Lucille Ball’s Lucy Ricardo. She’s just as lovable and full of hilarious antics. You can’t help but root for Becky no matter how sticky the situation.

In this novel, Becky is pregnant and she demands the care of the top obstetrician into London (the one all the local fashion models see). As it turns out, the doctor happens to be her husband Luke’s ex-girlfriend. To make matters more complex, Becky and Luke have been house hunting, and in the meantime found new renters for their apartment. The only problem is, they haven’t exactly found their dream house and will have no where to live by the time the baby is born.

Plus, in this novel, Becky is shopping for two!

I recommend the whole Shopaholic Series for a quick, fun read. Becky always seems to find the most surprising solutions to her troubles.

Ok, I started to get annoyed with becky this time around because she just seemed so shallow, but then I took a look at Luke and thought he is just being too mean this time. But the end wraps up nicely and there are some good laughs along the way. For me if a book doesn't wrap you up in the characters some way it is flawed, so I rate this a 4 star and look forward the next in the series.

After devouring each of the books in this series, I was very disappointed by this one. In a way, I'm actually glad that the series has now ended as I find that they all have very much the same plot line. Becky shops too much, digs herself into a whole, and then either comes up with a remarkable idea or is bailed out by someone.
