What’s a round-the-world honeymoon if you can’t buy the
odd souvenir to ship back home? Like the Chinese urns and
twenty silk dressing gowns Becky found in Hong Kong…the
five kilim rugs from Turkey…the splendid hand-carved
dining table (and ten chairs) from Sri Lanka…the, um, huge
wooden giraffes from Malawi (that her husband Luke
expressly forbade her to buy)…
Only now Becky and Luke have returned home to London and
Luke is furious. Two truckloads of those souvenirs have
cluttered up their usually immaculate loft, and the bills
for them are outrageous. Becky’s even maxed out on her
second secret credit card, and she doesn’t have a new job
yet!
Luke insists she go on a budget. And worse: her beloved
best friend Suze has found a new best friend while Becky
was away. Becky’s feeling rather blue—when her parents
deliver some incredible news. She has a long-lost sister!
Becky is thrilled! She’s convinced her sister will be a
true soulmate. They’ll go shopping together, drink
cappuccinos together, have manicures together, and watch
their favorite videos together.
Until she meets Jessica for the first time and gets the
shock of her life. Surely Becky Bloomwood’s sister can’t…
hate shopping?
