Millions of readers have come to adore New York Times best-selling author Sophie Kinsellaβs irrepressible heroine. Meet Becky Bloomwood, Americaβs favorite shopaholicβa young woman with a big heart, big dreamsβ¦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 itβnot 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 bankβletters with large red sums she can't bear to readβand 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 lifeβand the lives of those around herβforever.
Sophie Kinsella has brilliantly tapped into our collective consumer conscience to deliver a novel of our timesβand 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.
