Book Description:
"This expensive, glossy world is where I've been headed all along. Limos and flowers; waxed eyebrows and designer clothes from Barneys. These are my people; this is where I'm meant to be."
-Becky Bloomwood
Universally beloved by readers, Sophie Kinsella's national bestseller, Confessions of a Shopaholic, introduced the irrepressible one-woman shopping phenomenon, Becky Bloomwood. Now, in this hilarious follow-up, Becky and her credit cards are headed across the Atlantic....
With her shopping excesses (somewhat) in check and her career as a TV financial guru thriving, Becky's biggest problem seems to be tearing her entrepreneur boyfriend, Luke, away from work for a romantic country weekend. And worse, figuring out how to "pack light." But packing takes on a whole new meaning when Luke announces he's moving to New York for business-and he asks Becky to go with him!
Before you can say "Prada sample sale," Becky has landed in the Big Apple, home of Park Avenue penthouses and luxury department stores.
Surely it's only a matter of time until she becomes an American TV celebrity, and she and Luke are the toast of Gotham society. Nothing can stand in their way, especially with Becky's bills miles away in London.
But then an unexpected disaster threatens her career prospects, her relationship with Luke, and her available credit line! Shopaholic Takes Manhattan-but will she have to return it?

Another of Becky Bloomwood's adventures, set in Manhattan, shopaholic's paradise! This was as wonderful as the first of the Shopaholic series.

The books in the Shopaholic series are quick and fun reads for anyone looking to escape from mainstream "heavier" fiction. Becky's adventures are quite fun to observe, and as a reader, I found myself both identifying with her and asking "why in the world would you go and do a thing like that?" Plus, if you love shopping (and maybe a little too much like me), this is a great and cheaper substitute.

I really liked this one, it's funny & light. Perfect summer read.
Jessica F. (This is a great book and very entertaining! There were some parts when you wonder why the main character does what she does, but you will root for her the whole time. It's a great book. It makes me wish I could go on shopping sprees!
Janelle M. (I like to shop also, I don't have the money to shop like Becky does it would be fun if I did.
Donna C. (This book is sooo much fun to read! I could not put it down and finished it in one day. Housework is on hold!!! Great story about a shopoholic and her friends!
Angela S. (Oh no, she takes Manhattan. I was afraid for her bank accounts. This story does have Becky charging away, but more of the focus seems to be on her relationship with new boyfriend, Luke. I love Luke, he's dreamy. Anyway, we see them progress and Becky fouls things up as usual, but thank God Luke is so understanding.
Quick and fun, as per usual.
Loved it! Kinsella sure knows how to keep a story interesting. What FUN!!
