Book Description

Sophie Kinsella has conquered the hearts of millions with her New York Times bestselling Shopaholic novels, which feature the irresistible one-woman shopping phenomenon Becky Bloomwood. Now Becky’s back in a hilarious, heartwarming tale of married life, best friends, and long-lost sisters (and the perils of simply having to own an Angel handbag!).

What’s a round-the-world honeymoon if you can’t buy the odd souvenir to ship back home? Like the Chinese urns and twenty silk dressing gowns Becky found in Hong Kong…the five kilim rugs from Turkey…the splendid hand-carved dining table (and ten chairs) from Sri Lanka…the, um, huge wooden giraffes from Malawi (that her husband Luke expressly forbade her to buy)…

Only now Becky and Luke have returned home to London and Luke is furious. Two truckloads of those souvenirs have cluttered up their usually immaculate loft, and the bills for them are outrageous. Becky’s even maxed out on her second secret credit card, and she doesn’t have a new job yet!

Luke insists she go on a budget. And worse: her beloved best friend Suze has found a new best friend while Becky was away. Becky’s feeling rather blue—when her parents deliver some incredible news. She has a long-lost sister! Becky is thrilled! She’s convinced her sister will be a true soulmate. They’ll go shopping together, drink cappuccinos together, have manicures together, and watch their favorite videos together.

Until she meets Jessica for the first time and gets the shock of her life. Surely Becky Bloomwood’s sister can’t…hate shopping?

Shopaholic makes me laugh.......2007-05-12

While Shopaholic & Sister is not the best of the series it is good enough. The book is another delightful escape into a fantasy life which, despite potential or temporary despair, always concludes with a sunny ending. The characters are well drawn. For serious readers like me, it is nice to take a break from depressing themes and insert a Shopaholic book once in awhile.

Thoroughly enjoyable.......2007-05-10

I have not read the first two of the series but I have read Shopaholic Ties the Knot and this one. Shopaholic Ties the Knot is superior to this one, I found, but this is still incredibly fun, an extremely easy read, totally escapist. It is true, Becky is floating in the clouds, absolutely optimistic and ridiculously out of reality and to tell the truth it never irritated me in Shopaholic Ties the Knot but in this book I found it to the extreme and I commend Luke, her husband, for putting up with her.

All in all the story line wasn't as interesting as Shopaholic Ties the Knot, which I absolutely loooved, but Shopaholic and Sister was still cute and fun. Definitely worth the read, can't wait to read the first two and Shopaholic and Baby, I love this series!

Classic Kinsella.......2007-05-08

If you liked any of the previous Shopaholic books by Kinsella, you'll love this one too. The best part of this book--what sets it apart--is that Becky is checked by not only her bank manager, but her long-lost sister. This hilarious chapter of Becky Bloomwood's life is a must-read for anyone who finds Becky's saga relaxing as well as a bit exhilarating.

Lovable and Laughable.......2007-04-21

Having read all of the books in Kinsella's Shopaholic series, I couldn't wait to read about what embarrassing situations that the ever-lovable Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) would get herself into this time.

I just love escaping into the light-hearted world of these incredibly likable characters. My only complaint with this book is that I was left wanting more!

Kinsella certainly delivers in Shopaholic & Sister, which is an immensely entertaining afternoon read full of the familiar antics of the good-hearted (albeit hopelessly ditzy) Becky. Fans of the Shopaholic series will not be disappointed!

Another great Shopaholic book.......2007-04-14

These Sophie Kinsella books are the best. Honestly. Probably second only to Bridget Jones in my chick-lit ratings.

Anyway, this story carries on the Shopaholic series with Becky finding out that she has a long-lost sister. Oh fun! A shopping buddy! BFF necklaces! HooRAY!

Only thing is, the sister hates shopping. She's more of a nature girl. Likes getting her clothes at goodwill and such.

Madness ensues, of course. What will Becky do to be close to her sister? Will her sister hate her for being materialistic? Oh the drama!

Funny book, worth the quick read.

Product Description

Hot off the success of her bestselling CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?, Sophie Kinsella delivers another hilarious Becky Bloomwood novel. When last we left Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood), she and Luke had just married and she'd unveiled her big honeymoon surprise...around-the-globe plane tickets. World-weary ten months later, the newlyweds return home filled with excitement to share the details of their amazing escapades. But their arrival brings a different sort of homecoming, as Becky discovers some unbelievable news: She has a sister. Ok, a half-sister, but a sister nonetheless. Someone to share with, to have manicures with, to shop with! But, can it be, that Becky's long-lost sister hates to shop? Hates to spend, really. And is fascinated by rocks...not diamonds.

Shopaholic and Sister-Kinsella.......2007-04-17

Sophie Kinsella's "Shopaholic" series is an absolute delight. This installment is just as funny and just as quirky as ever.

I only have one complaint and that is that all of Kinsella's books are Abridged when offered on CD.

In a busy work-a-day world and long drives to and from work, books on CD are the best way for me to get recreational "reading" done, nowadays. I feel somehow cheated when I listen to an abridged version of a book. Thankfully the producers of Kinsella's books have done a flawless job of abridging a book... I just can't help wondering what really great little details and/or sections I've missed.... (heavy sigh)

But abridged Kinsella is better than no Kinsella... So go ahead get caught up in the writing magic of Sophie Kinsella and ENJOY!
