Edition- ebook/kindle (Borrowed from Library)
3 Stars!
Spoilers
I just finished reading "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and I thought it was okay. It wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad. Please read on to see my opinion.


Plot:

Rebecca (Becky) Bloomwood just hit rock bottom. But she's never looked better.
Becky 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. She tries not spending a lot, and tries to make more money, but none of her plans succeed. She just has to buy herself something. She knows she is considered a "Shopaholic" but she can't stop herself from buying things. She's in debt, and her account gets frozen.

Opinion:
I thought this book was good. I always heard of this series and I just watched the movie. I really liked the movie and thought it was funny! I borrowed the book from the library and I'm glad I did. The beginning was good! I got into the book and then halfway through, I didn't like it anymore. I don't know why, it got boring. I didn't care about what happens to Becky anymore. She was kind of stupid. Why would you keep spending money if you knew you were in debt? It doesn't make sense. I didn't finish the book, so I don't know how it ended. There wasn't really romance in this book. Becky sort of liked this guy from work, Luke Brandon but nothing really happened between them. Well, maybe something happened but I didn't finish the book so I don't know. She went on a date with her friend's cousin, Tarquin and I liked him. He was a nice, sweet guy and he liked Becky. I liked him a lot better than Luke. I was mad because Becky only agreed to go on a date with Tarquin because he's rich! She even said she was going to marry him and be rich too! I can't believe she only went out with him for his money! That is terrible! She didn't even give him another chance. I started to not like her anymore. I liked her at first, but then I realized how stupid she was. She was very selfish at times too! At times I felt bad for her, but I stopped reading the book because I honestly didn't care what happens to her! This book was fun the first half, but I got bored reading the rest. I think if you love shopping and talk about financial things, you will love this book! I guess I can tell people to buy it, but if you can, borrow it from the library like I did. I also love Sophie Kinsella's other books! I read "Remember Me?" and "Can You Keep a Secret?" and I loved those books. I will be reading her other books. She's a great author, I just didn't love this book that much.
