[Brooke]

[Noella]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[ the latin phrases DO look suggestive of an affair XD funny how she wants to use a private detective to find out where her colleague gets her eyebrows done hahaha (hide spoiler)]

That part made me laugh out loud, Becky is my favvvvv.

[Noella]

Chapter 15
(view spoiler)[that red haired bitch !! Luke definitely didn't say that. She's delusional (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Finished
(view spoiler)[I liked that not everything worked out like it always does. This time Becky doesn't get the dream house she wants. Minnie is such a cute name :) She's sure going to be spoiled by her parents! I can't believe Becky won the investment challenge over Luke's choices rofl (hide spoiler)]

Thoughts on

[Brooke]

27% (view spoiler)[ Shopping in secret, i know someone who needs that in their life ;) i can't wait to see how this blows up! (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

51% (view spoiler)[ I have a feeling this is gonna backfire for Bonnie, i hope it doesn't because i like her but still, it's gonna go badly i know it! (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

65% (view spoiler)[ I KNEW IT. OH NOOOO BONNIEEEEEE. Ugh. i hope Becky gets her out of this! Also Nanny Sue is in for a ride :D (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

Ending Thoughts
(view spoiler)[ Well that was a nice change, very few shopping scenes yet the story moved perfectly. I'm glad some things smoothed out while others, not so much. I am excited to get to the next book and see Minnie a bit more and see which "stars" we get to read about! (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

Thoughts for

[Brooke]

22% (view spoiler)[ Oh becky, always trying to fit in. I hate that Alica is nicked named Queenie. And what's with the attitude change?! I need her to turn and have those other moms see the real Alica and love Becky instead!! (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

30% (view spoiler)[ Wow Becky... I'm not sure how i should feel. I already read some pretty bad reviews about this book thou, so i'm going into this knowing i'm not gonna like Becky as much as i usually do, but i hope maybe that's not gonna be the case! (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

60% (view spoiler)[HOLY CRAPPPP SUZEEEE. wow, i didn't think i would see the day that Suze turns on Becky but yet here's what's going down. I am on Suze's side thou for sure, her husband is missing and Becky is not even giving a little f**k about it. I would be angry too and probably would have went off. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

80% (view spoiler)[ I really can't believe Suze and Alica are friends now! Plus Bryce is making a cult. I knew he was off, but really!? Sheesh. I really need to know what Becky's Dad did! I hope we find out! (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

Ending Thoughts
(view spoiler)[ Ok i did not like Becky at all in this book. She was beyond shellfish. Way worse than usual. I mean if Suze turns on her, you know it's bad. I liked the rest of the book thou, just not Becky. I wanted more Minnie thou. I will be reading the next book so maybe Becky will get better. I hated the ending, nothing was resolved, all left for the next book. Good thing i have it ready to go (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

Thoughts :D

[Brooke]

33% (view spoiler)[ wow, that was a lame plot movement. Did Alica try this a few books ago, come on Kinsella, you really could have of thought of something better. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

40% (view spoiler)[ suze is still pissing me off. get over your self darling. becky is your friend not bi*ch long legs. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

51% (view spoiler)[ i wanna ride a sheep! and poor Suze, glad to know who your truly are! I didn't think she was that kind of gal, but i guessed wrong, now i really don't like her. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

61% (view spoiler)[ Suze has clearly lost it. Meanwhile, i feel bad for Becky's Dad. Having to lie about that money and then have your wife think you're cheating. But then again, why would you think that if he took 2 other men with him to address the issue... (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

Ending Thoughts
(view spoiler)[ Well, that was disappointing. I'm not sure if i like this book at all. I feel like this one was more of a money grabbing book rather than a good addition to this series. I kinda wish there was more, or maybe have a series about Minnie later in life. Oh well. Another series checked off my TBR. (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

End of chapter 3
(view spoiler)[OMG I can't believe Becky can't see that her daughter is spoiled. Why does she think another baby is a good idea?? Luke is to blame too. His parenting must be lacking!

I'm frustrated with Becky once again but this writing is addicitive, once again haha (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[its so funny already. I can't believe Becky's wish was read out by the elf. What was the one about Luke that she didn't get to finish reading?
And did they seriously get banned from visiting father Christmas four times?!? (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[Becky overestimates herself. Why does she find it surprising that her friends and family don't trust her to plan a surprise party? She's being quite an airhead (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[Mini is a monster! And why the heck does Becky lie to the nanny? It's obvious they'll find out sooner or later and she'd be the one red-faced (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[Becky is so oblivious to the crisis around her! Everyone's worrying about their money and she's just thinking of throwing a huge fancy party!! It was hilarious how the priest ran out before christening Minnie and he just ran back in and it was done in two seconds (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[Poor Bonnie. Becky's putting her job on the line! (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Chapter 18
(view spoiler)[I love how Nanny Sue is calm and able to diagnose the problem being Becky's shopping addiction! Minnie can still be saved from becoming out of control. Still, there hasn't been a moment where I can say Minnie has been cute. (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Chapter 20
(view spoiler)[After all that trouble to keep it a secret a drunk businessman ruins the surprise ! Luke's plans were sweet and it was funny how Becky tried to rush through his romantic plans XD (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Finished (view spoiler)[ngaw the endings are always the best bit and I can forget to be annoyed at Becky. Her real surprise party was great. It's a shame she won't be going on the spending addiction programme . HOLLYWOOD spells trouble. She's going to go crazier there I can just feel it!! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[I knew Becky wouldn't take on Luke's advice and tell the nanny about Minnie's problems. Becky's too proud to do that. I sense a lot of trouble approaching! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[Hilarious when the college students turned up empty and wanted to barter their non existent services for Becky's designer goods!! And Becky was so generous she just gave them away

I have a feeling Elinor can control Minnie's tantrums. Not sure if that's a good thing since Luke's not speaking to her! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[Luke and Becky are keeping secrets from each other! I wonder who lukes new client is that might get Becky "overexcited" (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Noella wrote: "Chapter 18
[spoilers removed]"
(view spoiler)[Nanny Sue rocks! Hilarious when she said Minnie was a perfectly normal toddler (hide spoiler)]

End of chapter 18
(view spoiler)[What a disaster sending an email to 10k people about Luke's birthday surprise! It sure is hard to keep a secret (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 20
(view spoiler)[I want to murder the old man who spilled the beans! They were so close to throwing a surprise!! SO close!! (hide spoiler)]
