"Funny, funny, funny." Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"Chock-full of the charming antics and asides that made the first two installments hilarious best-sellers." Margaret Flanagan, Booklist

Synopsis:

The irresistible heroine of Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Takes Manhattan is back!-in a hilarious tale of mothers and daughters, mothers and sons, and one blushing bride who just can't say no to saying "I do."

Life has been good for Becky Bloomwood: She's become the best personal shopper at Barneys, she and her successful entrepreneurial boyfriend, Luke, are living happily in Manhattan's West Village, and her new next door neighbor is a fashion designer! But with her best friend, Suze, engaged, how can Becky fail to notice that her own ring finger is bare? Not that she's been thinking of marriage (or diamonds) or anything...

Then Luke proposes! Bridal registries dance in Becky's head. Problem is, two other people are planning her wedding: Becky's overjoyed mother has been waiting forever to host a backyard wedding, with the bride resplendent in Mum's frilly old gown. While Luke's high-society mother is insisting on a glamorous, all-expenses-paid affair at the Plaza. Both weddings for the same day. And Becky can't seem to turn down either one. Can everyone's favorite shopaholic tie the knot before everything unravels?

Synopsis:

Since Becky Bloomwood's last adventures in the national bestsellers "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan, " she has become the best personal shopper at Barneys, and is living with her boyfriend Luke. So not everything is smooth as silk--Becky's ring finger is still bare.

Sophie Kinsella's "Shopaholic Ties the Knot" should be compared to a roller coaster thrill ride. Starts out slow, but as the story progresses, the pace really picks up. Becky's dilemma of having to choose only one wedding had me turning pages faster than I thought possible! At times some of Becky's mishaps were just plain stupid and others made me want to give her a sympathetic hug. However, when it all wraps up, Becky' solution is nothing short of brilliant!

Becky Bloomwood is back and with wedding bells in the air. This time Becky is all tangled up in wedding planners, dresses and two major locations! I ended up wanting to read more and more of Becky's escapades.
