I usually love anything that Sophie Kinsella writes, but with the Shopaholic series I was seriously disappointed. Writing in first person / present tense is a great way to get the reader to 'come along for the ride' but with Becky Bloomwood, Kinsella has put us in the head of one of the shallowest, most self-serving and dishonest characters I've ever encountered who wasn't (supposed to be) the bad guy. She lies to the people who love and trust her and glibly dismisses their feelings with almost no sense of remorse. I persevered, hoping that the story, or rather character would improve - my friend lent me the whole series otherwise I would have stopped at the first one - and ended up hoping that someone would finally make her pay for her many deceits. I'm supposing that Kinsella dealt with a very timely and relevant issue with the first book in this series, and it was such a success that her publishers demanded more of the same. With all of her other books I found her characters to be likeable in spite of their flaws, and wanted them to do well. That's what this genre is usually all about, no? But I just found Becky to be too odious to have any empathy for.

Becky made me SO frustrated with all her lies. I just wanted her to grow up and tell the truth. But still all characters and this story was so light and comfortable, perfect to read after heavy and dark book.

I enjoyed reading this book so much even though there was quite much to take in. This wasn't really believable but still I noticed how I didn't care. This book was cute, entertaining and I loved it with all it's absurdness.

A fun read as Becky gets herself in a mess again . I do love her and Luke’s relationship ! A nice cosy read!

O carte slabuta daca este sa o compar cu Am numarul tau sau Poti sa tii un secret... insa merge. Scriitoarea si-a pastrat stilul, iar povestea nu plictiseste. (mai degraba te scoate din minti)... Eu inca ma intreb daca exista femei atat de amețite pe lumea asta... Probabil ca da, pt ca altfel aceasta poveste n-ar fi existat :))
