The Shopaholic series is one that I love to hate. On the one hand I cannot believe anyone can be so callous and have such warped way of thinking. On the other hand, the writing is always so humorous and the story always takes a wonderful turn that makes for wonderful story telling.

Here we have the Luke and Becky coming out of their honeymoon phase and into the real world being married. As always, with someone with her head in the clouds Becky does everything to make sure everything ends up a disaster, making all the wrong assumptions in life and love. Finding out she may have a sister to replace her best friend only adds to the chaos but as usual the author raises the a amazing phoenix from the ashes that have you beliving in the goodness of even the stupidest person on earth and cheering for the same keeping you hooked to the end.

I for one, being kind  of petty and mean found this book highly entertaining as all along there are people who keep pulling Becky down to earth from her high horse... That's my guilty pleasure ... !!

Sophie Kinsella has me hooked. I picked up the book yesterday evening and finished it by morning for I just couldn't put it down. There is no great murder mystery, and you even know who the culprit is quarter way into the book.

Yet, yet - the author's colorful scenes and funny twists have you wondering what could possibly happen next in the world of workaholic, never cooked an omelette or made a bed Samantha who is so shocked by the fact that she's made a big boo boo at work that she ends up as a house keeper in the middle of no where.

What follows is a wonderful journey of experience and epiphanies for the heroine and the reader. For someone who might be at loss as to what their life's purpose is, this book has some valuable lessons to offer, should you choose to look for them close enough.

The little sparks of fire of passion or humor that Kinsella throws in are spectacular to revitalize your reading experience.
