Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic #1) by Sophie Kinsella

Confessions of a SHOPAHOLIC

Millions of readers have come to adore New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella's irrepressible heroine. Meet Becky Bloomwood, America's favourite shopaholic--a young woman with a big heart, big dreams. . .and just one little weakness.

Becky has a fabulous flat in London's trendiest neighbourhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a close 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 catalyses a chain of events that will transform her life--and the lives of those around her--forever.

Sophie Kinsella has brilliantly tapped into our collective consumer conscience to deliver a novel for our times--and a heroine who grows stronger every time she weakens. Becky's 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 handing in the (bank) balance.
