Publisher's summary

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes “frothy fun . . . Faster than a swiping Visa, more powerful than a two-for-one coupon, able to buy complete wardrobes in a single sprint through the mall—it’s Shopaholic!” (The Washington Post)

“Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover

Becky Brandon thinks that having a daughter is a dream come true: a shopping friend for life! But two-year-old Minnie has a quite different approach to shopping. The toddler creates havoc everywhere she goes, from Harrods to her own christening. On top of everything else, Becky and Luke are still living with her parents (the deal on house #4 has fallen through), when suddenly there’s a huge nationwide financial crisis.

With people having to cut back, Becky decides to throw a surprise party for Luke to cheer everyone up. But when costs start to spiral out of control, she must decide whether to accept help from an unexpected source—and therefore run the risk of hurting the person she loves. Will Becky be able to pull off the celebration of the year? Will she and Luke ever find a home of their own? Will Minnie ever learn to behave? And . . . most important . . . will Becky’s secret wishes ever come true?

I loved it!

This is another one of Sophie Kinsella's books that stole my heart and made me laugh out loud as I was listening to it. I usually purchase non-fiction literature, which I read from my Kindle, but I've found that when I'm listening, I prefer something light and well narrated. Kinsella's books bring a respite from the worries and stress of every day life, and Rosalyn Landor brings such life to these colorful characters. "Becks" is a darling, and now we have her "Minnie-Me" to love and amuse us as well. Please, Sophie...keep em' coming! I have become a true fan of your work!

Not the high point of the series...

I used to like the shopaholic series. Then I lost my job, and somehow listening to someone whine about not being able to buy the latest Gucci or Louis Vuitton just wasn't funny any more. The gags in this one are cringe-worthy and the narrator's voice high-pitched and annoying. The entire book is basically a repitition of all the books before--Becky does inappropriate things, embarrases herself in public, is greedy and materialistic and self-absorbed, yet always ends up getting what she wants. The worst book in the series, if you ask me.

Hard to get through...

I am usually a fan, so was sad when this book took a downward spiral into a whiny mess.

Can't stand the narrator!!!

I'm sorry to say that my review isn't complete. I only vote for the narrator who is absolutely wrong for this book. I can't stand her and so I can't go on listening to see if I like the book or not. I already don't like it. Money down the drain in my opinion this one. Can you please release a different version where my favorite Emily Gray is reading? Maybe in my head Emily Gray IS Rebecca and I can't get used to anybody else, I'm really sorry Ms. Landor.

More of the same, only less so

I've read and heard all the Shopaholic books, and I too am disappointed that Becky never learns from her mistakes or her past. I found this book to be more of a series of disjointed scenes rather than having an overarching story, and I just got tired of Becky's blindness to herself and her lies to her family and friends. I'm sorry to say that this series hasn't gotten better with age (the first two were my favorites), and it's getting harder to care about Becky anymore. :-(

Amazing range of voices

I look to Audible reviews for information on how the narration is, not the story, because it's so hard to find that anywhere else. So as far as the book itself goes, I'll only say that I love the Shopaholic books, I think they're really funny and yes compulsive debtors do think the way she does, all the time; I love this particular one, and found the story arcs really satisfying; and I do hope that someday she allows Becky to get into recovery and grow past the Shopaholic thing!

Now for the audiobook. I haven't been listening to audiobooks long, but I've listened to quite a range so far and this is the best of them all. Most narrators at least try to make the characters sound different, but even good narrators often have difficulty with different genders. By contrast, Landor's male characters have such great, authentically male-sounding voices that I repeatedly checked to see if there were two narrators working on this book!

She does a great job on every gender, accent, and age. The worst thing I can say about her work is that Danny's American accent is sometimes a trifle Britishy. But he's also very pompous, and in Americans that often ends up coming off a little Britishy. We want to sound posh too!

I feel like I understand the characters better from her reading, and I've been reading these books on my own since they came out.

Probably the best thing I can say about this audiobook is that I listened to it even though I had just read the book on my own, and I loved it completely anyway - and I want to listen to it again soon! Normally, I wouldn't want to re-read a book for ages. Total ear candy.

Breezy and fun

If you like the previous "Shopaholic" books, you'll enjoy this. Narrator's accent and expression is a pleasure to listen to. Some might find this just more of the same (I"d like to give it 3 1/2 stars), so it depends on if that is something you want to embark on.
