  <default_description>Sophie Kinsella has conquered the hearts of millions with her New York Times bestselling Shopaholic novels, which feature the irresistible one-woman shopping phenomenon Becky Bloomwood.  Now Becky's back in a hilarious, heartwarming tale of married life, best friends, and long-lost sisters (and the perils of simply having to own an Angel handbag!).

What's a round-the-world honeymoon if you can't buy the odd souvenir to ship back home?  Like the Chinese urns and twenty silk dressing gowns Becky found in Hong Kong - the five kilim rugs from Turkey - the splendid hand-carved dining table (and ten chairs) from Sri Lanka - the, um, huge wooden giraffes from Malawi (that her husband Luke expressly forbade her to buy)...

Only now Becky and Luke have returned home to London and Luke is furious.  Two truckloads of those souvenirs have cluttered up their usually immaculate loft, and the bills for them are outrageous. Becky's even maxed out on her second secret credit card, and she doesn't have a new job yet!

Luke insists she go on a budget.  And worse: her beloved best friend Suze has found a new best friend while Becky was away. Becky's feeling rather blue - when her parents deliver some incredible news.  She has a long-lost sister!  Becky is thrilled!  She's convinced her sister will be a true soulmate.  They'll go shopping together, drink cappuccinos together, have manicures together, and watch their favorite videos together.

Until she meets Jessica for the first time and gets the shock of her life.  Surely Becky Bloomwood's sister can't hate shopping?</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[(Novel)--Even though this novel is pure silly fluff, I enjoyed it nonetheless, probably because of my own emotional connection to shopping.  It was clear to me from the time that my daughter was young that shopping would likely save our relationship--and in many ways it has.  We shop so well togethe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40048971">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[****Spoiler Alerts****<br/><br/>I truly enjoyed this book probably as much as the others. This book made me laugh and cry at the same time. It was very touching and, at times, pulled at the heart strings.<br/><br/>This book was kind of like Legally Blonde meets I Love Lucy.
