Confessions of a Shopaholic

By Sophie Kinsella

Becky Bloomwood has just hit rock bottom when her card gets declined at a trendy London shop. She is embarrassed and tries to convince the store clerk that there must be some mistake. She ends up leaving devastated and without her fabulous item. This scene, in Confessions of a Shopaholic, reveals how Becky is ignoring her over the top spending habits, which has left her with an overwhelming amount of debt. She is a true shopaholic.

The author, Sophie Kinsella, is revealing Becky’s personality and her spirit for optimism, even in her difficult time of discovering reality. Kinsella has written many “chick lits.” in her time as an author. Her most popular, The Shopaholic, series has even been made into a movie, Confessions of a Shopaholic. Kinsella has a fun and witty writing style. Most women can connect with the Shopaholic series, as we all have been in a situation where we want to shop, but do not have the means to do so. In the end Becky Bloomwood figures out her financial stress and how to handle her shopping addictions. This book takes the reader from the many uncomfortable, but funny situations of having a shopping addiction, to a coming to reality moment when Bloomwood finally grows up and understands how to take control of her life. I recommend this book to all women. There are many life situations, in Shopaholic, that almost every woman can relate to. This series is definitely made for people who are interested in a fun read with fashion, a bit of love, and triumph.
