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. Store Review Charity from Chapters # 914, Dartmouth, NS Art imitates life, and it appears life imitates art. This tale of a working girl trying to get her finances in order -- or just trying to avoid them -- really hits home. A hilarious read, where the heroine loves to shop and finds herself going to great lengths to keep herself in the best fashions without ever being financially responsible. I would highly recommend this title to anyone who enjoyed Bridget Jones's Diary, or those who just love to shop. You'll see more of yourself between these pages then you'll care to admit! About the Author Sophie Kinsella is a writer and former financial journalist. She is very, very careful with her money and only occasionally finds herself queuing for a sale. Her relationship with her bank manager is excellent. Reader Reviews Average Reader Review: Number of Reviews: 31 1. Serendipity!! Reviewer: Kimberly ;b from Toronto Date: 2/19/2003 8:55:11 PM Serendipity: Seh-rin-di-pi-tee , a fortunate accident. Finding this book was an exact case of serendipity! After going through my bills, I decided to browse Chapters online and found a this comical book that might as well be written about me! The story is as addictive as Becky's shopping habit, I honestly could not put it down: I finished this book and the second one in 2 1/2 days! Can't wait for my pre-order of the third one to arrive!! You won't be disappointed!! 2. Absolutely Fab!!! Reviewer: Tina from Toronto,CA (manhattan23@lycos.com) Date: 2/16/2003 6:34:21 PM Becky Bloomwood is definitely a woman's woman! This is the first book that made me laugh out loud...and right on the subway! This crazed shopaholic is downright funny and witty! A definite must read for all females... 3. Not a Bad Read Reviewer: J. Watkins from Toronto,Ontario (janellewatkins@watkinseventplanner.com) Date: 2/15/2003 5:12:00 PM I just finished the book. I had bought it and the sequel last May but hadn't found the time to read it. Well, once I picked it up, I couldn't stop. I have now read both books in 3 days. It's a nice light read. It found it thoroughly enjoyable. I should say, I did find Bridget Jones a better read, but I could definitely relate to Rebecca's shopaholic character. I do recommend the book. Well Done. 4. FANTASTIC!! Reviewer: SB from Toronto Date: 2/14/2003 4:35:37 PM This book sucks you into the story and keeps you interested and laughing. I highly recommend this read to escape the stressors of daily life. 5. So funny! Reviewer: CJC from Oshawa/ON Date: 1/31/2003 11:39:01 PM This was a great book, really funny, and really hits home for those of us who shop too much when we can't afford it! If you like these shopaholic books, you'll also love Bridget Jones' books as well-great - British humour!! Read all of the reviews...
