Synopses & Reviews
Sophie Kinsella has conquered the hearts of millions with her New York Times bestselling Shopaholic novels, which feature the irresistible one-woman shopping phenomenon Becky Bloomwood. Now Becky’s back in a hilarious, heartwarming tale of married life, best friends, and long-lost sisters (and the perils of simply having to own an Angel handbag!).
What’s a round-the-world honeymoon if you can’t buy the odd souvenir to ship back home? Like the Chinese urns and twenty silk dressing gowns Becky found in Hong Kong…the five kilim rugs from Turkey…the splendid hand-carved dining table (and ten chairs) from Sri Lanka…the, um, huge wooden giraffes from Malawi (that her husband Luke expressly forbade her to buy)…
Only now Becky and Luke have returned home to London and Luke is furious. Two truckloads of those souvenirs have cluttered up their usually immaculate loft, and the bills for them are outrageous. Becky’s even maxed out on her second secret credit card, and she doesn’t have a new job yet!
Luke insists she go on a budget. And worse: her beloved best friend Suze has found a new best friend while Becky was away. Becky’s feeling rather blue—when her parents deliver some incredible news. She has a long-lost sister! Becky is thrilled! She’s convinced her sister will be a true soulmate. They’ll go shopping together, drink cappuccinos together, have manicures together, and watch their favorite videos together.
Until she meets Jessica for the first time and gets the shock of her life. Surely Becky Bloomwood’s sister can’t…hate shopping?
Synopsis
When we last left Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood), she and Luke had just married and were about to take off on a year's trip around the world. Now, ten months later, they're ready to return to their life in London, Luke to his successful PR business, and Becky to what she's sure will be an easy search for employment. There's only one problem. She's told the tiniest little fib to Luke about a purchase she simply couldn't pass up and now she's on a strict budget, she doesn't have a job yet--and worst of all, her beloved Suze has a new best friend. Becky is feeling rather blue, when she receives some incredible news. She has a long lost sister! They'll have so much in common! They can have manicures together! Go shopping together! But then she meets her and gets the shock of her life. It can't be true. Surely Becky Bloomwood's very own sister can't hate shopping? As hilarious, unpredictable, and unforgettable as the previous Shopaholic novels, Shopaholic & Sister is sure to delight devoted fans and soon-to-be-addicted newcomers alike.
