  <default_description>&quot;This expensive, glossy world is where I've been headed all along. Limos and flowers; waxed eyebrows and designer clothes from Barneys. These are my people; this is where I'm meant to be.&quot;
 --- Becky Bloomwood

Universally beloved by readers, Sophie Kinsella's national bestseller, &lt;b&gt;Confessions of a Shopaholic&lt;/b&gt;, introduced the irrepressible one-woman shopping phenomenon, Becky Bloomwood. Now, in this hilarious follow-up, Becky and her credit cards are headed across the Atlantic....

With her shopping excesses (somewhat) in check and her career as a TV financial guru thriving, Becky's biggest problem seems to be tearing her entrepreneur boyfriend, Luke, away from work for a romantic country weekend. And worse, figuring out how to &quot;pack light.&quot; But packing takes on a whole new meaning when Luke announces he's moving to New York for business -- and he asks Becky to go with him! 

Before you can say &quot;Prada sample sale,&quot; Becky has landed in the Big Apple, home of Park Avenue penthouses and luxury department stores. 

Surely it's only a matter of time until she becomes an American TV celebrity, and she and Luke are the toast of Gotham society. Nothing can stand in their way, especially with Becky's bills miles away in London. 

But then an unexpected disaster threatens her career prospects, her relationship with Luke, and her available credit line! &lt;b&gt;Shopaholic Takes Manhattan&lt;/b&gt; -- but will she have to return it?</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Just when I thought I would be disappointed in a sequel, Ms. Kinsella proves me wrong! This Shopaholic book is a fantastic read, and amazingly it’s even better than the first!!!<br/>The first book introduced us, with vivacious clarity, to the funny and quite endearing protagonist Becky Bloomwood....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69228427">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Of the three <em>Shopaholic</em> books I've read, this was my favorite.  Just as before, Becky still annoys me with her relentless shopaholic tendencies (can she literally not master any self-control?), I think she gains a bit more depth.  I was thrilled to see her acting a bit more like a human being in thi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65250701">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Read the whole series this spring.  I needed something light-hearted and funny, and these books fit the bill.  What I liked about them: they made me laugh.  I could identify with some of the rationalizations the character makes when buying things she doesn't really need.  I loved her friendship with...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59099699">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's actually a bit better than the first book, but not enough to get 4 stars from me.  Though I had reservations about the first book, I decided to read the second because I've found with other series that they often get better as the storyline and characters develop (e.g. Eragon and Inkheart).
