Representaion Supposing Books Mini Shopaholic (Shopaholic #6)
Sophie Kinsella has dazzled readers with her irresistible Shopaholic novels--sensational international bestsellers that have garnered millions of devoted fans and catapulted her into the first rank of contemporary storytellers. Now her beloved heroine Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) returns in a hilarious tale of married life, toddlerhood, and the perils of trying to give a fabulous surprise party--on a budget!Becky Brandon thought motherhood would be a breeze and that having a daughter was a dream come true: a shopping friend for life! But it's trickier than she thought. Two-year-old Minnie has a quite different approach to shopping.
Minnie creates havoc everywhere she goes, from Harrods to her own christening. Her favorite word is "Mine!" and she's even trying to get into eBay! On top of everything else, Becky and Luke are still living with her parents (the deal on house #4 has fallen through), when suddenly there's a huge financial crisis.
With people having to "cut back," Becky decides to throw a surprise party for Luke to cheer everyone up. But when costs start to spiral out of control, she must decide whether to accept help from an unexpected source--and therefore run the risk of hurting the person she loves.
Will Becky be able to pull off the celebration of the year? Will she and Luke ever find a home of their own? Will Minnie ever learn to behave? And . . . most important . . . will Becky's secret wishes ever come true?

A cute introduction to two-year-old Minnie Bloomwood who appears to be developing similar traits of her sweet but "I want all the things" mother. Becky (and Luke) must confront how their issues may impact Minnie moving forward, and of course Becky gets herself into a jam although her intentions are the absolute best. The misunderstandings that come up as a result of secretive event planning are pretty funny, and I enjoyed that Kinsella revisited an extended family member who manages to surpriseBecky Brandon (neé Bloomwood) is back, and with her two year old Minnie in tow. Unfortunately, Minnie seems to be a bigger shopoholic than Becky is, proclaiming everything in the stores MINE! As a result, Luke is stressed out, and a financial crisis doesnt help the situation. Becky wants to throw a surprise party for Luke, but with the financial crisis, a strict budget, and a spirited daughter, how can she?Something about this book really bugged me. Maybe it was the fact that Becky takes no
I enjoyed the Shopaholic novels, although I wondered how much lying one character could do in a book. Well, Sophie Kinsella has taken that challenge and upped the ante in this new tome.I don't know, maybe it's the recession, maybe it's the fact that I've been out of a job for almost two years, maybe it's the fact that I can't stand bratty children, but this was not my favorite Kinsella offering.First of all, it's probably a bit too close to reality. Becky, her long-suffering hubby Luke, and
Becky Brandon(nee Bloomwood)got on my very last nerve in this book. She seems so selfish, so self-involved that I had trouble liking her and since the book is from her viewpoint I need to like her, at least a little bit. She lies to everyone,from her husband to her parents to her child's nanny to the administrator of her friend's child's school(although that lie was actually done to be kind). I started to wonder if she was even capable of telling the truth or whether she even knew what the truth
The ending of this book keeps you from regretting pushing through to finish. However, all in all the book was annoying. Unless this is your first shopaholic book you will definitely find all of Becky's 'quirks' hugely annoying rather than charming. Basically Becky is an annoying whiny b**ch, Minnie is a spoiled brat and Luke is a neglectful a**hole. And her parents... made me want to go home and hug my own parents.For fiction, especially chick lit, it's really hard to say a character should know
Confessions of a Shopaholic was the first chick lit book I read. It is the ONLY chick lit series I still read (I started feeling that chick lit was all the same). I love Becky!! Her life is always a total mess, she digs herself into massive holes..and yet, she has the biggest heart. I love that about her. Becky does get on my nerves every now & then. But for the most part, I do love her. As for this book, it was A LOT better than the Sister & Baby. I thought Sister was truly awful!! (I
I'm a big fan of the ever so hilarious Shopaholic series.I don't know whether I'm the one who's changed, or the series are not that great anymore. It used to be so funny and thrilling. This one's still funny, and the last half of the book quite a madcap adventure, as some reviewers call it, but the rest is flat, boring, and I don't find myself loving the adventure I'm in, at all.Becky, as a mid 20s, single woman with an independent career, albeit with a huge credit card debt, I'm fine with it.
