Shopaholic & Baby

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life . . .“Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover

Becky Brandon’s life is blooming. She’s working at London’s newest big store, The Look, house-hunting with husband Luke (her secret wish is a Shoe Room) . . . and she’s pregnant. She couldn’t be more overjoyed—especially after discovering that shopping cures morning sickness. Everything has to be perfect for her baby: from the designer nursery and the latest stroller to top-of-the-line medical care.

But when the must-have celebrity obstetrician Becky’s been so desperate to see turns out to be Luke’s glamorous, intellectual ex-girlfriend, Becky’s perfect world starts to crumble. She’s shopping for two . . . but are there three in her marriage?

Perfect

I've read every book in the shopaholic series, and I have enjoyed every one of them...This one is no different.

A light, entertaining read

This book follows the same formula as all the other books in the Shopaholic series. Becky tells a bunch of lies, gets herself into a heap of trouble, and then the truth all comes out in the end. Sometimes this predictability can be tiresome, since Becky often acts completely irrationally, or in ways that no normal human being would act. That being said, it is a light, fun read, and passes a few hours without being boring. It got quite a few chuckles out of me. The ending was pretty over-the-top, but that is typical of the series and nothing new.
