Buchreihe: Shopaholic "Original" von Sophie Kinsella

Rebecca Bloomwood is a journalist, who spends her working life telling others how to manage their money. She spends her leisure time... shopping. Retail therapy is the answer to all her problems. She knows she should stop, but she can't. Can Becky ever escape from this dream world, find true love, and regain the use of her Switch card?

For Rebecca Bloomwood, life is peachy. She has a job on morning TV, her bank manager is actually being nice to her, and when it comes to spending money, her new motto is Buy Only What You Need - and she's really (sort of) sticking to it.

For once in Becky Bloomwood's life, things are going smoothly. She's got the dream job as a personal shopper. She's got a fabulous Manhattan apartment with her boyfriend Luke. They've even opened a joint bank account. Then Luke proposes - and all of a sudden life gets hectic.

Becky thought being married to Luke Brandon would be one big Tiffany box of happiness. But to be honest, it's not quite as dreamy as she'd hoped. The trouble started on honeymoon, when she told Luke the tiniest little fib, about the teeniest little purchase.

Becky's life is blooming! She's working at London's newest fashion store The Look, and she's pregnant! She couldn't be more overjoyed - especially since discovering that shopping cures morning sickness. But when the celebrity obstetrician turns out to be her husband Luke's glamorous, intellectual ex-girlfriend, Becky's world starts to crumble.

Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) thought motherhood would be a breeze and that having a daughter was a dream come true - a shopping friend for life! But it's trickier than she thought - two-year-old Minnie has a quite different approach to shopping. She can create havoc everywhere from Harrods to Harvey Nicks to her own christening.

She's hanging out with the stars or at least she will be, when she finally gets to meet movie superstar Sage Seymour, whom husband Luke is now managing.§§There's so much to see and do!
