Sophie Kinsella is the only author I've read in this genre so far. Becky Bloomwook is an ambiguous heroine. Usually I don't like the person she represents - silly, not much substantial in her head, acting without thinking and only bent on buying new things - but for this book it somehow works for me. Her characteristics are drawn in such a sharp way, that even I can't help but smile at her way. As such this is a nice book which isn't too demanding.

Rebecca Bloomwood, in her way, represents a part of all of us. She's the personification of that little red devil sitting on our shoulder making all the justifications for why we must absolutely buy (insert latest must-have item here) without any trace of that nasty voice of reason that urges responsible behavior. And that's why this book works so well - a fun piece of Chic-lit.

I thought this was adorable! Rebecca was hilarious. OMG, I felt for her. Her logic was so screwed up when she was justifying all of those purchases! I wanted more of her and Luke and was bereft when it ended the way that it did! I am going to have to read more now. It's absolutely imperative!
