CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC

Rebecca Bloomwood just hit rock bottom. But shes never looked better... Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in Londons trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the seasons must-haves. The only trouble is that she cant actually afford it - not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Savings not only bores her to tears, it doesnt pay much at all. And lately Beckys been chased by dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bank and theyre getting ever harder to ignore. She tries cutting back; she even tries making more money. But none of her efforts succeeds. Beckys 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 forever. Sophie Kinsella has brilliantly tapped into our collective consumer conscience to deliver a novel of our times - and a heroine who grows stronger every time she weakens. Becky Bloomwoods hilarious schemes to pay back her debts are as endearing as they are desperate. Her confessions are the perfect pick-me-up when life is hanging in the (bank) balance.
