Book Review - Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella

Scatter-brained heroine Becky Bloomwood returns in book #3 'Shopaholic Ties the Knot' of Sophie Kinsella's highly successful series!

Life is amazingly good for Becky Bloomwood these days. Instead of slaving away in finance circles (which she has always hated), she has a dream job as a personal shopper at Barney's! Plus points in her life with employee discounts which Becky avails of liberally (yes, she is still the hair-brained spendthrift she has always been, sigh). But the best news ever is that she and her hunk of a millionaire boyfriend Luke have reunited and are now living blissfully in trendy West Village in New York (as long as Luke doesn't find out about her shopping habit... dun dun dun).

Life will just get more amazing for Becky, right? Well, yes and no. On the one hand, Luke has finally popped the question, and hello, of course Becky has said yes, I will marry you, silly! And just like that, Becky gets herself in a bit a quandary.

Luke's high society mother has booked the Plaza, and a wedding coordinator who is planning a glamorous high society frothy concoction of a Manhattan wedding for Luke and Becky. Lovely, right? I'd be happy with that too!

Unfortunately, Becky's own mum is also planning a wedding to take place in the backyard of her childhood home in England. And hapless Becky has said yes to both weddings! What is she to do now with two weddings scheduled to happen on the same day??? Well, leave it to Becky to blunder her way back and forth to a happy ending!

Chock full of hilarity as always, but I must say that events get to be even more nonsensical than the previous. I'm wondering how long Sophie Kinsella can work this schtick in a new novel!
