Their relationship hits a low patch and they break up for a while but get back together towards the end. One really wishes Becky to be stop being such an idiot and be truthful to Luke but her pride always comes in the way. And I loved her supportive family and friends who are there for her unconditionally.īecky and Luke’s relationship has progressed well in this book. I laughed at her vain efforts to refrain from buying. I laughed hard at all the excuses she comes up with for buying stuff.
But she ends up the same mistakes all over again. Becky is aware of her shortcomings and she even tries to be a little more judicious in her spending ways. The book is in perfect continuation with the first in the series. And she doesn’t even remember all the stuff that she buys! Sometimes you can’t help getting angry with her for being so stupid and other times you feel pity for her and wish she would seek professional help. She lies to her boyfriend about her spending. She lies to her mother about the actual prices. She hides her extravagant purchases from her flat mate and her best friend Suze. She overspends when she doesn’t really have funds.
Little does she know that her spending addiction has the potential to ruin everything she has worked so hard for!īecky is such an incredible character. A trip to Manhattan gives her all the more reason to indulge in shopping while she is still reeling with debts.
Unfortunately, Becky still has no control over her shopping addiction. Her relationship with the handsome and successful entrepreneur Luke Brandon is going great. Becky is doing great as a financial advisor on a London morning talk show. One would have expected Becky to have learnt a lesson from her previous mistakes but she ends up making them all over again in the sequel too. And she doesn’t disappoint at all! An extremely funny and romantic novel with a heroine who has no self- control when it comes to shopping (even when she is neck deep in debt)! ‘Shopaholic Takes Manhattan’ is my second book by Sophie Kinsella after I read the first one last week.
