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.

Love this book! The main character is extremely funny! A girl who loves to shop and ignores the bills! I think everyone can relate to her at one time or another!
The writing is very good and really couldn't put it down. I finished this book in 3 days.
I am excited to read the rest of the series!

I loved this book. I stayed up all night to finish. It took a chapter or two to get involved but once I read that I was hooked. I can't wait to read the next one in the series!

I loved this book and can hardly wait to read the next. At first I was frustrated with her poor choices and wasn't sure if I could even stand to finish the book, then half way through she starts to get it together. It was at this point that I couldn't put it down and finished it in one night.

First of the Shopaholic series - HILARIOUS, fun read. The writing is witty and fun. I hate to let go of this book....

I did not like this book at all. This is the first and only book I've read in the Shopaholic series and it will be the last. At points in the book, I wanted to strangle Becky Bloomwood for being a grown woman and so stupid with her money. I can't fathom knowing someone like this and befriending them. The whole book was a major letdown to me. I would move past this particular series and read The Undomestic Goddess and Can You Keep A Secret? by Miss Kinsella also. They are much better reads in my opinion.

Life and love of a british journalist who has a slight problem with managing her money.

A fun, fast read chick-lit book.

It was a great book and series. Kept me wanting to know more

The Shopaholic books are great for a beach read or for those times when you just want a book you can breeze through without much thought. I love these books and can't wait to read more from the author. Many women, I'm sure, can relate to the predicaments the main character finds herself in at some point in time. Kinsella brings you into the story and into the mind of a 'shopaholic' with such great skill...at times I thought the story was about me and my experiences.

A great, fun read!

The original in the Sophie Kinsella "Shopaholic" series. It's all about trying to have it all without being able to afford it. I loved it!

I really enjoyed this book. This series is great for quick, enjoyable reading - I have liked reading them when traveling.

Love this series

Cute, chick lit kinda book.  I think I ended up reading all of these Shopaholic books in a week!

Fun easy to read book

Hilarious!

Read it years ago. Great, fun read. Becky can be annoying at times, but she is so loveable most of the time so it outweighs the other crap. Good love story, too. Luke is one of the best male characters I've ever read in chick lit. Worth the time. Will read it again. Love the whole series.

To coin a phrase of this book: It's 'bloody' hilarious!
