Confessions of a Shopaholic

By: Sophie Kinsella

Narrated by: Nell Hudson

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes “a hilarious tale … hijinks worthy of classic I Love Lucy episodes … too good to pass up.” (USA Today)

Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London’s trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season’s must-haves. The only trouble is, she can’t actually afford it—not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Saving magazine not only bores her to tears, it doesn’t pay much at all. And lately Becky’s been chased by dismal letters from the bank—letters with large red sums she can’t bear to read. She tries cutting back. But none of her efforts succeeds. Her only consolation is to buy herself something … just a little something.

Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life—and the lives of those around her—forever.

“Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover

Late to the party, but great narration!

Somehow I never read this, nor saw the movie adaptation years ago. This rerelease caught my eye, so I gave it a shot and loved it. Now I'll need to listen to more!

Novel Updated

I did not like that the novel had some different sentences than what the narrator was saying.

How was this book so a popular?

I read the book assuming it would be way better than the movie. Now the movie makes more sense to me. It tried to make what could have been a fun book make more sense.

Creative, and witty!

I am usually a “crime and thriller” enthusiast but this author has provided a lighter and well written series that actually holds my attention.

Funny

I felt it funny. I also realize there are people out there who exactly like this. Myself included but not to this extreme. It kept me interested. There were parts that I thought be accountable for once in your lifetime. However, the book was enjoyable.

Cute

Cute story. During the first part of the book i found rebecca annoying but she slowly grew on me and eventually started making me laugh.

Hilarious read

I loved this book and the narration. The main characters is very lovable and funny!

Hilarious to listen to

I really enjoyed this book and the narrator. It was like reliving my younger life. It was light and funny, but with my now older adult knowledge, I kept feeling like telling Becky, "Don't do it!" Yep, I'm going to continue reading the rest of the books now. And recommend to a friend who reminds me a lot of Becky. LOL!
