Millions of readers have come to adore New York Times best-selling author Sophie Kinsellaโs irrepressible heroine. Meet Becky Bloomwood, Americaโs favorite shopaholicโa young woman with a big heart, big dreamsโฆand just one little weakness.
Becky has a fabulous flat in London's trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season's must-haves. The only trouble is that she can't actually afford itโnot any of it.
Her job writing at Successful Savings not only bores her to tears, it doesn't pay much at all. And lately Becky's been chased by dismal letters from the bankโletters with large red sums she can't bear to readโand they're getting ever harder to ignore. She tries cutting back. But none of her efforts succeeds. Becky's only consolation is to buy herself something ... just a little something....
Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her lifeโand the lives of those around herโforever.
Sophie Kinsella has brilliantly tapped into our collective consumer conscience to deliver a novel of our timesโand a heroine who grows stronger every time she weakens. Becky's hilarious schemes to pay back her debts are as endearing as they are desperate. Her "confessions" are the perfect pick-me-up when life is hanging in the (bank) balance.
