Becky Bloomwood is back in the second book by Sophie Kinsella, following the success of 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'.
When we meet Becky Bloomwood again, she's in a very good place. She's in love with her hunk of a millionaire boyfriend Luke Brandon, and has a very good high paying job as a personal finance expert on a morning TV show. Those days of debt are behind her!
Um, not quite, unfortunately. Becky hasn't really kicked her habit, and her new high paying job may have paid off her old debts, but she has wasted no time in collecting a new pile of unpaid bills! Oh, Becky!
When Luke relocates temporarily to New York City to open a new office for his financial PR agency, he brings Becky along with him. While Becky tries to look for a job in New York so she can stay longer in the States, she also discovers the joys of New York Boutique shopping and yes, sample sales! Despite knowing she is sinking further into debt, Becky can't help rationalizing by saying that foreign money ($$$) doesn't count, right?
Unfortunately, things (i.e. all her lying and debts) eventually blow up in Becky's face and she's left without both a job and a boyfriend! Oh, no, how will Becky turn things around this time? Because you betcha that Becky will pick herself up and dust herself off in the end...
Becky is a winning personality and there remain numerous laugh out loud comic instances in the pages, but to be honest, I'm getting tired of how out of control she is. Does she finally learn her lesson here? Find out!
