Becky is pregnant and now is shopping for two! (sorry, I couldn't resist saying that...I don't think I came up with that, it might be on the back cover, but that's now at the library so I honestly don't know...anyway...moving on). Becky feels that she's now cured of compulsively shopping for herself, but instead finds herself compulsively shopping for her baby (justifying it by the fact that she doesn't want to deprive the baby). So Baby Bloomwood will come into the world with multiple cribs and prams and the best celebrity baby-doctor. However, the problems begin when Becky learns that her new doctor is Luke's ex-girlfriend...who possibly still has feelings for him.

Although it's great to see what happens with the Shopaholic gang, I feel that this was the least memorable of the series. In all of the other books, I can clearly remember specific instances from the book, but that's not the case with this one. I guess that might come with the fact that the series has run its course (though if Sophie Kinsella writes another for this series, I hope it has some of the magic of the earlier books).
