Sophie Kinsella | Confessions of a Shopaholic
Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella, originally published in Britain as The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic, introduces the irresistible Rebecca “Becky” Bloomwood. Becky is a financial journalist who spends her working days advising other people how to manage their money. Unfortunately, her own finances tell a rather different story. Shopping is her favourite form of therapy, her credit cards are pushed to their limits, and the increasingly alarming letters from the bank are becoming impossible to ignore.
Determined to regain control, Becky tries cutting back, making more money and inventing increasingly imaginative excuses – with predictably chaotic results. But when she discovers a financial story she genuinely cares about, she finally has the chance to put her professional talents to good use. Funny, romantic and sharply observant about consumer culture, Confessions of a Shopaholic is the novel that launched Kinsella’s hugely popular Shopaholic series and one of contemporary romantic comedy’s most memorable heroines.
