Rebecca Bloomwood just hit rock bottom. But she's never looked better.... Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London's trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season's must-haves. The only trouble is that she can't actually afford it -- not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Savings not only bores her to tears, it doesn't pay much at all. And lately Becky's been chased by dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bank -- letters with large red sums she can't bear to read -- and they're getting ever harder to ignore. She tries cutting back; she even tries making more money. But none of her efforts succeeds. Becky's only consolation is to buy herself something ... just a little something.... Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life -- and the lives of those around her -- forever. Sophie Kinsella has brilliantly tapped into our collective consumer conscience to deliver a novel of our times -- and a heroine who grows stronger every time she weakens. Becky Bloomwood's hilarious schemes to pay back her debts are as endearing as they are desperate. Her "confessions" are the perfect pick-me-up when life is hanging in the (bank) balance.
My thought
Hilarious, totally relatable to people who may have a little shopping problem. The character Rebecca Bloomwood was the absolute shopaholic because she couldn't give it up. It showed a lot of change in her character and a lot of internal complications. This is great "light-read" for all shopper lovers! The way Rebecca Bloomwood narrates the story is absolutely hilarious. All her wild, crazy, and some slightly sensible thoughts create a book full of unwanted but amusing scenarios! Her ditzy personality allows her to do only what she feels like, which creates an even funnier and awkward situation for other characters. It also tells an inspiring story of how perseverance really does help you succeed in life, even if all you can do is think about what to buy next! It was a really great book and had a great plot to it, I cannot wait to read the next one in the series.
