More about this book
Confessions of a Shopaholic introduced one of contemporary fiction's most endearing disasters; this sequel lets her loose in the world's greatest shopping city. Becky's adventures in New York are gloriously funny: department stores, discount warehouses, glamorous parties and a growing pile of shopping bags hidden from Luke. Kinsella is brilliant at the inner logic of her heroine, who can justify any purchase as an investment, a bargain or a career move.
The comedy has a sharper edge this time, as Becky's spending catches up with her in a very public way and threatens both her career and her relationship. Luke, meanwhile, is under pressure of his own as his New York plans run into trouble. Becky's solution to her crisis is clever and surprisingly touching, and it shows that she has more resourcefulness than she gets credit for. The romance is sweet, with no explicit content.
It is pure entertainment, and fans of the first book will race through it. Read Confessions of a Shopaholic first; Shopaholic Ties the Knot comes next. About 336 pages in the Dial Press paperback.
