I don't know why but for some reason I liked this book better the second time around. I read this book 5 or 6 years ago and I didn't love it. Shopaholic & Sister has always been my least favorite. I almost skipped rereading it but I decided to give it another shot. I'm glad I did because I found this book to be so charming and now I can't remember why didn't like it the first time.

Book 23/100 for 2015

4.5/5

Like I've said before, I absolutely love Sophie Kinsella's writing style. She creates such strong characters with very different personalities and has them get into the weirdest and funniest situations. I honestly thought I would get bored with this series as I kept reading on, but the opposite is actually true! I can't wait to read the fifth book, Shopaholic & Baby and laugh even more!

These books annoy the heck out of me but for some odd reason I keep reading them.

This time around Becky, the spoiled, materialistic bumble-head is unemployed and married to her sure to be long-suffering lover Luke. They spend the early part of the novel honeymooning around the globe for a year while Becky secretly spends all sorts of dough on silly trinkets and other assorted things (such as two dining room tables!) that Luke doesn't want or need. How the business savvy Luke remains oblivious t ...more

I feel like I SHOULD hate these books by now...they all follow the same pattern of "Becky shops, Becky gets in trouble from shopping, Becky reforms and swears she'll do better." ALL the same. And yet, these books are all so funny and entertaining that I can't put them down. They're excellent for when I want to read something light, because they're well-written and they have such likable characters. I will have a hard time not reading the next one right away. In fact, I might not succeed in that. ...more

By this book, Becky Bloomwood is too annoying to read about. It's the same crap over and over again, and after three books of reading the same jokes, she's no longer funny, she's infuriating. I think that's the problem with this series. Since the main character suffers from an addiction, she's obviously supposed to exhibit the same behavior time after time. But this series is supposed to be funny, and if you hear a joke too many times, it loses its humor. Not only that, but since Becky never sho ...more

Shopaholic and Sister is the fourth installment in Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series and is my favorite to date. Becky Bloomwood just tries so, so hard and it all just bites her in the end. This installment focuses on more than just her spending addiction so I think it was the perfect reprieve in that regard. I enjoyed it so much! ...more

Very enjoyable. Becky is truly one of the most annoying characters I have read about, but it's still so funny; the situations she get's herself into, the conversations she has and the way she justifies certain actions. That woman lives in a completely different world. That makes this series definitely entertaining!

We pick Becky up at the end of a 10-month honeymoon with her new hubbie Luke – they’ve been all over the world and Becky’s got a lot of shopping to show for it – but it’s easy – she just buys and has it all shipped home – she’ll worry about where to put it all later! Becky decides to surprise her parents and her best friend Suze – by arriving in England unexpectedly. Becky’s in for a rude surprise – she seems to have been forgotten by her best friend Suze, who’s had twins since Becky left for her honeymoon and along with the twins, she’s got a brand new buddy that doesn’t seemed too thrilled about Becky’s return. Even her parents don’t seem too thrilled to see her and there’s some girl lurking in the background – who can she be? Well, Becky finds out that she’s got a sister. It seems that before her parents met, Becky’s dad had a romance with a flight attendant and never knew that she’d had a baby girl that she named Jessica. Becky is thrilled to hear about her sister and decides that the best way to bond is by…what else? Shopping!! She quickly learns that Jess doesn’t like shopping (Gasp!) and basically finds Becky to be irresponsible and shallow. Becky is determined to change her sisters’ mind and travels to the English countryside where Jess lives in order to bridge the gap and find her way into her sisters’ heart. Will Becky and Jess become soul mates? Will Jess learn to love shopping? Sophie Kinsella delights her readers once again as she takes us on adventure to find out!

During all the action, we get the story from Luke’s perspective a little more – we see why he loves Becky so much and in seeing her through his eyes, we learn to love her just a little bit more!

I read a few books between the last book (…Ties the Knot) and this one, but I found myself falling back into the story easily - It was nice to hear about Becky again! This was a fun story and the ending leads you right into the next book in the series – that’s right, I think it might be time for our Shopaholic to have a Baby!!

I tried to re-read this again last night but only got half way through. Wow. I forgot how aggravating Becky was in this book. Selfish is not the word. We also get a ridiculous plot point included in this one with adding a character that was not needed at all. I still say that Kinsella adding Jess was the death knell to this whole series. I honestly thought she had better sense than Becky (which isn't saying much).

I still say that Kinsella adding Jess was the death knell to this whole series. I honestly thought she had better sense than Becky (which isn't saying much).

"Shopaholic & Sister" follows Becky 10 months into her honeymoon with her husband Luke. Becky thinks about going back home, but they still have 2 months to go. She and Luke though are getting tired of living out of hotels (poor things) and do miss their family. We find out that while they were away Suze had twins that are now about 2 months old. They decide to return home after Becky obsesses about a stupid bag. Of course Becky is shocked that things have moved on while she was away. Suze has another friend (another best friend it seems) and her parents appear to have secrets from her. Becky is finally told though that she has a half sister and that her name is Jess. Since Becky is feeling wounded over Suze she decides that she and her sister will be best friends and do tons of things together. Sometimes I forget that Becky is not 12 in this series even though she acts like it. Of course Jess is nothing like Becky and she hates shopping.

Becky is still obsessed with shopping (seriously there's a whole thing going on with regards to a stupid angel bag and Becky once again landing Luke in trouble cause she doesn't think) though Kinsella weirdly makes Becky way less likable in this one. She says and does a lot of terrible things to people in this one that I was just over. She apparently went to multiple countries and bought a ton of crap. Luke rightfully puts her on a budget after cutting up her credit cards and she gets all resentful about it. I just....look I will be here all day if I get into this, but she sucks.

The other characters have barely anything to do in this one since we just follow Becky around while she acts like an ass and lies about a lot of things.

The writing just lost it's sparkle for me in this one. The flow was okay, it's easy to read and ignore I think.

The ending made me roll my damn eyes. I think I was supposed to be all, yes Becky and all of that, but she's ridiculous and never pays any consequences for her behavior. ...more

It's Becky that's in for a surprise though when her parents start acting weirdly and best friend Suze reveals she may well have found herself a new best friend. Becky's parents finally admit what is wrong with them and it turns out Becky has a sister named Jess. To Becky that mea Becky Bloomwood is finally married to Luke Brandon and after a 10-month honeymoon the pair decide it's finally time to head home and Becky decides to not tell anyone they're returning and instead leave it as a surprise. It's Becky that's in for a surprise though when her parents start acting weirdly and best friend Suze reveals she may well have found herself a new best friend. Becky's parents finally admit what is wrong with them and it turns out Becky has a sister named Jess. To Becky that means someone to have girly nights in with and to go shopping with but is shocked to learn that Jess doesn't actually like shopping. Is that really possible? Can Becky Bloomwood's long-lost sister really hate shopping?

As you're probably sick of hearing, I'm re-reading the entire Shopaholic series in expectation for the brand new one out in September. I wanted to read them all one after another to see how well they flowed together and to maybe pick up on little tidbits I may have missed the first time around. I've now reached book four in the series, Shopaholic and Sister, which is the book I remember best and I couldn't wait to get stuck in a second time!

I suppose you can guess from the title that the books revolve around someone who likes to shop and while that is a huge focus on the first two books, it isn't as in your face with the next two. Shopaholic Ties The Knot was mainly focused on Becky's wedding to Luke and this one, Shopaholic & Sister, is focused on Becky's new-found, long-lost sister Jess and the relationship she envisages the pair of them having. Yes, there's still a lot of shopping to be done, but nowhere near as close as the shopping she does in the first two books. Obviously it would get a bit boring if Becky continually fought debt problems so these new problems and struggles make a welcome change.

I quite liked the idea of Becky having a sister. Even more so, when the blurb tells us she's the polar opposite of Becky. Obviously because Becky is Becky Bloomwood she gets all in a tizz about being a sister and begins to imagine how everything will pan out between the pair... girly nights in, fantastic shopping trips, doing each other's make-up etc. so it's a culture shock when Becky learns Jess is a bit of a skinflint. The interactions between the pair is hilarious and I loved just how different they appeared. If Becky was shocked about all of that, she also had to deal with Suze, her best friend since forever, suddenly finding a new friend plus the shock of spending 24/7 with Luke to suddenly barely seeing him. Shopaholic and Sister certainly seemed the most difficult struggles Becky has to face!

As always I loved Becky. Having such a tight sister to compare her to does make her seem a bit spoilt but I think we know that now anyway so it's not as if it's a huge surprise. I could totally understand why Becky was so excited to find out she had a sister, who wouldn't want to find out that after years of being an only child, they suddenly have a long-lost sister, it's a dream come true, surely? I was sad with Becky when she realised Jess was nothing like she imagined and after being with her through four books (with at least two more to go), it is as if I really know Becky. Strange, but true. I still think Luke is fantastic, he and Becky have some struggles but you just know it'll all be OK in the end somehow. I missed Suze, I must admit, she was definitely not around as much as I would have liked, obviously so the plot between she and Becky could develop, but I did miss her. The addition of Jess was a master-stroke and I really really loved her. I don't care if she was the total opposite of Becky, I liked her for who she was and, it turns out, she wasn't as bad as I thought she was going to be!

The book, like the rest of the series, is told entirely from Becky's point of view in a chatty and conversational style. The letters from banks and shops and what-not are still interspersed between chapters (and are as hilarious as ever). I could wax lyrical for hours and hours about how fantastic Sophie Kinsella is. I mean, four books in and the books aren't tired or getting boring, they haven't jumped the shark in anyway. It's a series like I've never read before. Not many books could get to the fourth book and still be fantastic and enjoyable reads (it even extends past the 5th, since I loved Shopaholic & Baby, too). It will be a sad, sad day when Sophie Kinsella announces there'll be no more Becky Bloomwood. I just hope that day is far far away!

Sophie Kinsella first hit the UK bestseller lists in September 2000 with her first novel in the Shopaholic series – The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic (also published as Confessions of a Shopaholic). The book’s heroine, Becky Bloomwood – a fun and feisty financial journalist who loves shopping but is hopeless with money – captured the hearts of readers worldwide. Becky has since featured in seven further bestselling books, Shopaholic Abroad (also published as Shopaholic Takes Manhattan), Shopaholic Ties the Knot, Shopaholic & Sister, Shopaholic & Baby, Mini Shopaholic, Shopaholic to the Stars and Shopaholic to the Rescue. Becky Bloomwood came to the big screen in 2009 with the hit Disney movie Confessions of a Shopaholic, starring Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy.

Sophie has also written seven standalone novels which have all been bestsellers in the UK, USA and other countries around the world: Can You Keep A Secret?, The Undomestic Goddess, Remember Me?, Twenties Girl, I’ve Got Your Number, Wedding Night, and My Not So Perfect Life, which was a Goodreads Choice Awards finalist for Best Fiction in 2017.

In 2014 she published a Young Adult novel Finding Audrey about a teenage girl with social anxiety and her madcap family, and in January 2018, Sophie published her first illustrated book for young readers about the charming adventures of a mother-daughter fairy duo, Mummy Fairy and Me (also published as Fairy Mom and Me).

Sophie’s latest novel, Surprise Me, published in February 2018, presents a humorous yet moving portrait of a marriage—its intricacies, comforts, and complications. Surprise Me reveals that hidden layers in a close relationship are often yet to be discovered.

Sophie wrote her first novel under her real name, Madeleine Wickham, at the tender age of 24, whilst she was working as a financial journalist. The Tennis Party was immediately hailed as a success by critics and the public alike and became a top ten bestseller. She went on to publish six more novels as Madeleine Wickham: A Desirable Residence, Swimming Pool Sunday, The Gatecrasher, The Wedding Girl, Cocktails for Three and Sleeping Arrangements.

Sophie was born in London. She studied music at New College, Oxford, but after a year switched to Politics, Philosophy and Economics. She now lives in London, UK, with her husband and family.
