I have read every one of Kinsella's novels, and have yet to read one I don't adore. She has been my favorite guilty pleasure since I was a teenager, and I am so glad I finally get to review her work!
This series was written in a witty, charming, and hilarious way. I don't think I've ever read a Sophie Kinsella (aka Madeleine Wickham) book that I didn't finish in one sitting. She is chick-lit heaven, and I have come to look forward to her book releases the way a junkie looks forward to their next...more

Only 3 more days to go until the next book of the famous Shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella will be released. Due to this event, I’d like to review the rest of the series that I’ve already read.
The whole series is about Becky Bloomwood, becoming Brandon within the series. Becky is addicted to shopping and does that all the time.

I could not get enough of these books, and was actually sad when I finished the last one. I hope Kinsella writes more of them someday! Becky Bloomwood has a true shopping addiction and constantly finds herself trying to dig her way out of debt. Her justifications for why she needs this pair of shoes or that designer dress are comical. Throughout the series you see her go from bachelorette, to girlfriend/finacee of a highly successful businessman, to wife of said businessman, and finally to Mothe...more
These books were such a refreshing and fun summer click lit read! The situations that Becky gets herself into are so hilarious and her crazed justifications for her overspending are truly entertaining. I especially enjoyed the first three books, but the others were great as well. While Becky can be entertaining at times I found myself cringe at her stupidity with her spending habits (but maybe that's just because I'm her exact opposite) :)
What can I say? Sophie Kinsella books are my guilty pleasure. I'm not going to fool myself into thinking there's any deep meaning here (I suppose we could call it a look at excessive consumerism?), but for sheer fun and a light read, these fit the bill. I giggle my way through every one, knowing that of COURSE she will get out of whatever tight spot she's in, but totally enjoying the ride.
At first, was off-put by the main character, but gradually found myself liking her. The books all seem to run the same general arc, but was good for a fluff read. The books also made me really anxious about my own finances, and eager to get home and check my savings/pay bills/make sure I wasn't in the same trouble!
I ate these up as fast as I could read them. I love Becky Bloomwood and would follow her blindly into any rainstorm, because I know with her enthusiasm, I would come out on top in the end...and of course, with some fabulous time with shop shopping on the side, too. Right up there with Holly G. for me.
What can I say about the Shopaholic series, FANTASTIC! Really good buy, could not put down for a second! I was even sad when they cam to an end, until I heard there was to be a Mini Shopaholic, which I have also read! They're that good I think Sophie should write another sequel ha ha
the main character is always the same, its easy to predict the trouble she gets herself into and the books will make you laugh and make you feel like you have a really silly friend who often messes up more than you would ever be able to fix in real life.. hilarious i love all the books.
Loved these books, they were nice light reads and they were full of humour and wit. Couldn't wait to read the next books in the series. Was such an enjoyable series to read. Love the author's style of writing. If she would write another series I would most certainly read it.
As much as Becky Bloomwood aggravates me at times, I find her absolutely wonderful as well. This book had me laughing out loud by the end, especially during the two weddings sequence. I am really looking forward to reading Shopaholic and Sister.
Love these...they are such good light reads, and just fun and funny to read. However, there is some inappropriate language and other stuff. That is why I gave them a 4.
Loved these books, though sometimes (okay, most of the time) I want to smack Rebecca upside the head. Easy reading--literary junk food.
Okay, I've read all of her books. Something just clicked with me and her writing style. Maybe it's the United Kingdom thing.
If you're looking for something light to read, this book series surely would make your day worthwhile.
Read the first book in the series and I had to get the rest after I read the first one. Quick read..love it!
One heck of a book...everything is so funny. Becky is the most hilarious crazy heroine i have ever met!
Becky is hilarious, and not at all overrated. It's fun to follow her life and escapades.
I like kinsella's stuff-predictable, but light & humorous. An easy & enjoyable series.
I love these. They're fun, they're whimsical, they're girlie and entertaining.
I love Shopaholic :)
One of my favorite series
I'm a sucker for "chick-lit"
Easy reading, entertaining.
Awesomely funny series.
Love them!x
Fun easy reads!
My favorite author!
Loved!
A fun read. I enjoyed reading these books while in grad school. It was a fun distraction of text books! The book attracted my attention because I went through a very similar stage in life with my career, being engaged and tying the knot no less. Easy fun read.
