Editorial Review:
“This expensive, glossy world is where I’ve been headed all along. Limos and flowers; waxed eyebrows and designer clothes from Barneys. These are my people; this is where I’m meant to be.”
–Becky BloomwoodUniversally beloved by readers, Sophie Kinsella’s national bestseller, Confessions of a Shopaholic, introduced the irrepressible one-woman shopping phenomenon, Becky Bloomwood. Now, in this hilarious follow-up, Becky and her credit cards are headed across the Atlantic....With her shopping excesses (somewhat) in check and her career as a TV financial guru thriving, Becky’s biggest problem seems to be tearing her entrepreneur boyfriend, Luke, away from work for a romantic country weekend. And worse, figuring out how to “pack light.” But packing takes on a whole new meaning when Luke announces he’s moving to New York for business–and he asks Becky to go with him! Before you can say “Prada sample sale,” Becky has landed in the Big Apple, home of Park Avenue penthouses and luxury department stores. Surely it’s only a matter of time until she becomes an American TV celebrity, and she and Luke are the toast of Gotham society. Nothing can stand in their way, especially with Becky’s bills miles away in London. But then an unexpected disaster threatens her career prospects, her relationship with Luke, and her available credit line! Shopaholic Takes Manhattan–but will she have to return it?

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Becky Heads for the Empire State!
OK, so this is not as good a read as the original "Confessions..." novel, but that's fine, nothing is as good as the original these days, right? And Becky Bloomwood is still a lot of fun to read about and her hi-jinks are still a hoot, right?
This is true, but whereas I was absolutely tickled reading the first novel, I found myself getting just a little bored with this story ... but just a little!
This time out, we find Becky, our girl-about-town, enjoying life as a ... Read More
Rating:  - I'm starting to really enjoy Becky!
When I first started to read Confessions of a Shopaholic, I thought to myself - what's all the hype? The book dragged a bit, but the last few chapters really made me get on the Shopaholic bandwagon. I had to find out what happened next between Luke & Becky. This book was so much better than the first in my opinion. Still typical Becky and I admit, I too felt frustrated with her at times, but then you just can't help to like her and love what she has with Luke.
Rating:  - The Audioversion is Outstanding
LOVE Emily Gray's reading of the book. She really brings Becky to life and is quite entertaining...hillarious. A real treat.
I read the first book and did audio for the second. I may go back and listen to the first as I enjoyed it so much.
Rating:  - Blabber of a Shopaholic
My guess is that Sophie Kinsella had in mind a specific group of readers when she created her "Shopaholic" series. And that group does not include me.
Do you recall the girl from "American Pie" whose stories began with the now famous line "This one time, at band camp..." Well, this is what it felt like when I was reading this book. It's as if someone sat next to me and began babbling in my ear a totally meaningless, not even to mention boring, story.
It was bad enough that ... Read More
Rating: - Great book, warm and funny companion
I bought this book for my daughter who is 16 years old, after listening to Ms Kinsella at amazon.com. My daughter has cancer and has been convalescing in Houston, over the last year. She is tough. She laughs aloud as she reads this book, and she tells me that her daily plan is to go to school, do homework, read Shopaholic, go back to her studies, study her SATs, read some more Shopaholic, and chat with friends.
The magic of reading, and the magic that Ms Kinsella has poured on my daughter ... Read More
