Laurel C. (mountainlaurel) reviewed on 1/28/2010 + 8 more book reviews

I almost never say this, but the movie was better! I assumed the book would have a similar plot and was disappointed at how different it was. In the movie, Becky's compulsive shopping (and lies to cover it up) are quirky and endearing, but that doesn't come across in the book. Also, book Becky takes so long to figure stuff out that she starts to seem pathetic, whereas movie Becky is much more empowered. If you loved the movie, skip the book.
