Shopaholic Takes Manhattan is Sophie Kinsella’s follow-up to Confessions of a Shopaholic. Becky Bloomwood is back, after paying off all her high flying debts she accumulated on her multiple shopping sprees. Since paying off those debts, along with her new job of financial advisor on a morning talk show, Becky has the mind set that she is free and clear to shop her fashionable little heart out again. You see it coming: the collection letters in the mail, her new bank manager offering no sympathetic ear, and the continuous downward spiral of her shopaholic life.
It only gets worse after Becky’s famed PR boyfriend, Luke Lloyd, moves them across the pond to New York City, in hopes of opening a new branch. Becky’s financial woes are leaked to the press, causing lost deals for both Becky and Luke, and Becky boards a plane back to London, thousands of dollars gone and worse, single. You ache for Becky even though you are well aware that it is her fault; how could she let herself spend thousands of dollars on one dress or hundreds of dollars on some new makeup? Now Becky has no hopes in getting a job and prepared to hit rock bottom.
But like all good chick lit books, Kinsella finds a way for Becky to come out on top. The last few chapters fly by with action, deceit, new opportunities, and the ultimate cliff hanger in the last page of the book. We know that a third book in this series will be coming, and I look forward to it as much as I did this well written second novel.
