Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

confessions-of-a-shopaholicConfessions of a Shopaholic. All chick lit readers should be well aware of this fabulous Sophie Kinsella novel turned movie starring the red headed beauty Isla Fischer. Becky Bloomwood is the lovable main character, with a weakness for designer labels and debt chasing her to the extreme. Her thought processes can make you laugh for the entire duration of the book, with crazy schemes running wild in her head. You cringe as she continues to rack up debt after debt, and can do nothing else but shake your head as the tales she tries to feed to her bank manger.

As Becky continues to go further into debt, her schemes to get out will make you chuckle. Win the lottery (she actually planned out everything she was going to buy with her winnings.) Marry the 15th most eligible bachelor in London, worth millions of dollars (she really went on a date with him!) Each and every plot twist brought a smile to my face, and Kinsella shows off her powerful writing skills in her debut novel.

    Not the best book, but at least is was better than the movie. I bought it on vacation for reading on the beach and it was great for this purpose. My boyfriend hated it though 🙂

    Thanks for stopping by! I haven’t seen the movie yet, though I still would like to. I know I’m a bit behind huh 😉
