Millions of readers have come to adore New York Times
best-selling author Sophie Kinsella’s irrepressible heroine.
Meet Becky Bloomwood, America’s favorite shopaholic—a young
woman with a big heart, big dreams…and 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 it—not 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 bank—letters with large
red sums she can't bear to read—and 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 life—and the lives of those around her—forever.
Sophie Kinsella has brilliantly tapped into our collective
consumer conscience to deliver a novel of our times—and 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.
