Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) is pregnant! She couldn't be more overjoyed — especially since discovering that shopping cures morning sickness. Everything has got to be perfect for her baby: from the designer nursery...to the latest, coolest pram...to the celebrity, must-have obstetrician.

But when the celebrity obstetrician turns out to be her husband 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?

Review:

"Hail the return of Kinsella's airhead heroine, Becky Bloomwood, now married, pregnant and working as the head personal shopper for a brand-new London boutique. In this latest installment of the Shopaholic franchise (Shopaholic Ties the Knot; Shopaholic Takes Manhattan; etc.), the commercially insatiable Bex shops for two in every upscale baby shop and catalogue in London, snags a celebrity ob/gyn and leverages a pair of the moment's 'most coveted' boots to negotiate a home purchase. Complicating an otherwise uneventful pregnancy, Becky suspects her husband, PR biz-wiz Luke Brandon, is having an affair with her hot doc (who also happens to be Luke's ex-girlfriend), so she hires a gumshoe with predictable madcap results. For chick lit lovers with babies of their own, or for those who covet one, Kinsella mines a rich vein by tweaking 21st-century glossy mag obsessions: from sonograms to the hottest baby strollers to tricked-out birthing rooms. Kinsella's ode to baby blues is both sly and slapstick — and for now, at least, Becky is more lovably Lucille Ball than annoyingly Paris Hilton." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Review:

"Author Sophie Kinsella is as witty as ever." Redbook

Review:

"Becky never loses her spark, making this fifth entry in the Shopaholic series every bit as delightful and hilarious as its predecessors." Booklist

Review:

"Effervescent and clever amusement best enjoyed by thosewhose hearts beat faster at the thought of thousand-dollar baby furniture." Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"Becky follows a far-fetched path through pregnancy, but it's a funny, wild ride." Rocky Mountian News
