Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella (reviewed by Christine)
This book is a nice girly book to read. It is more for the teenage/young adult crowd. It is a fiction book, and it has been made into a blockbuster movie in mid 2009. You'll find this book very enjoyable, easy-going and humourous.
This book is about a girl named Rebecca Bloomwood (also known as Becky Bloomwood), and she is a major shopaholic, one day, her debt was too much that her bank manager called her up, and wanted to have a meeting with her, face to face. She keeps procrastinating and when her bank manager got so furious, he asked her to pay up or all her credit cards will be terminated.
This story also introduces other characters such as Suze (Becky's best friend), Luke Brandon(Becky's soon-to-be husband), and Derek Smeath (The bank manager).
There was an incident where Becky wanted to buy a Denny & George scarf, and she had no cash, so she had to use her credit cards, but all of them could not be used, and she wanted that scarf so badly, so she ran across the road to a hot dog stand and asked the vendor to exchange a cheque for cash, then Luke was standing right there and he gave Becky $20, just like that. She was so happy, and that was how Becky and Luke met.
Overall, I think this is a good book to read when you are on a vacation, or on a normal day before going to bed.
