I loved this!

Sophie Kinsella writes in a way that you quickly identify with. Becky is probably an extreme character, with her inability to control her shopping desire, but that addiction is not hard to "not-understand". Especially for book-lovers, who can't keep from buying or borrowing more books, even if your shelf is stuffed with to-read books.

I didn't think it started well. It was a bit slow. But 50 pages in, it picked up the pace and got really riveting. It was really humorous getting into Becky's thoughts, especially when she was denying the reason for the things she do. I enjoyed how she tried to pay for her debts by sending post-dated checks (as in 2200!), offering free subscriptions of the the magazine she works for, giving weird excuses! I particularly enjoyed her scarf episode with Luke and his parents. It was very amusing.

All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who likes chick-lit, and someone appreciates "girl" obsessions with shopping!
