Lottie just knows that her boyfriend is going to propose during lunch at one of London’s fanciest restaurants. But when his big question involves a trip abroad, not a trip down the aisle, she’s completely crushed. So when Ben, an old flame, calls her out of the blue and reminds Lottie of their pact to get married if they were both still single at 30, she jumps at the chance. No formal dates - just a quick march to the altar and a honeymoon on Ikonos, the sun-drenched Greek island where they first met years ago. Their family and friends are horrified. Fliss, Lottie’s older sister, knows that Lottie can be impulsive - but surely this is her worst decision yet.

Publisher's Summary
Becky Bloomwood 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 Visa and the Endwich Bank - letters with large red sums she can't bear to read - and they're getting ever harder to ignore.
She tries cutting back; she even tries making more money. 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 Bloomwood'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.
This book is also known as The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic.

This is an amazingly funny book, I had tears coming down my face from laughing so hard. Mainly because I find myself doing the same types of things that the wonderful charachter Becky Bloomwood does to get out of debt. Positively fabulous! If you thought Bridget Jones' Diary was funny, wait until you read/hear Shopaholic.
Enjoy.

What a fun read!
I am not into Chick Lit, but this book was great. The book is quirky, fresh, fun, humorous and has great characters. Emily Gray, the narrator, did an amazing job too. She really got the voice of our main character Becky down perfect. I would definitely recommend this book.

Cute & Funny!
I picked this book up after seeing it in the bookstore and thinking the title sounded fun (and I liked the artwork on the bookcover). I truly enjoyed this book! It was an easy listen and kept me laughing. Yes, some would say it is all about a girl and her shopping addiction and why can't she control herself, but that is what makes it funny! Also, the narrator for this series does a great job!

Not so much!
I really had high hopes for this book but I felt that the protagonist was very dull and shallow. The only reason I give it two stars is because of the short romantic scene, otherwise this was a bitter disappointment. I planned to get the other shopaholic books but thought better of it.

cute for a while
I typically enjoy Sophie Kinsella books BUT this one took it's toll on me after several chapters. I just felt that Becky Bloomwood was a pathological liar after ALL she did was LIE about EVERYTHING.. I am almost done listening to this audio book so hope in the end she learns a lesson and changes her ways.

Not my cup of tea.
Don't get me wrong, I actually like most of Sophie Kinsella's novels--just not this one. Kudos to the reader, who did an excellent job. I'm afraid, however, that this book and I were never exactly meant to be friends--although I did try.

Long and Annoying
I found myself wanting to strangle the character. I felt like the story was just a list of all the things she bought while shopping. I expected it to have a lot more plot development. The end of the book did finally get a little more interesting and made me curious about the sequel.

Skip this one
I read these books backwards--starting with "shopaholic ties the knot" and proceeded backwards to this one. I thought "ties the knot" was hilarious, but in this first book Becky is little more that a compulsive liar, who only lives to buy stuff she doesn't need and then wonders how she spent so much money. I really just wanted to smack her and make her tell the truth. So annoying. Skip this one and just read "Ties the Knot."

Enjoyable and Funny
The story of Shopaholic is enjoyable and light hearted.
Most of the way through it's very funny, though it has to be admitted, it's very silly at the same time. And as Becky spun her harmless lies and headed into scrape...after scrape... after scrape, I found myself laughing!

Enjoyable light fiction
Interesting set-up for the rest of the series. Likeable heroine.
Very refreshingly, it's the main character's experience and development that form the bulk of the novel, with romance playing a smaller part than most chick lit. This means things aren't predictable, and female friendship, and creativity, are much more to the fore. I'll definitely be reading more Shopaholic
Narration could have been more nuanced, I'd give it 7/10 overall

Very enjoyable, easy to listen to, and very silly
Which character – as performed by Emily Gray – was your favourite?
The main character, Becky, is infuriatingly silly, but it is fun listening to her reason herself into ridiculous situations and even more ridiculous purchases, very well narrated by Emily Gray.
Any additional comments?
This book is silly and infuriating but it really is very enjoyable.

Funny but not the best from Kinsella
As always with Kinsella's book, there is a lot of funny scenes but not enough place for the love story, it's a pity because she is very good at it.
That's why this novel isn't my favorite. For me the best is definetly "Can you keep a secret" and "I've got your number".
However, Emily Gray made a good job with the read.

Sophie Kinsella is chick lit queen
This was a reread for the millionth time but first time on audiobook and Emily Gray was fantastic. You really felt the book along with her.
Such a great and different experience and also great to listen to whilst driving to and from work :)
Can't wait to continue the series on audiobooks.
