Synopsis (www.amazon.co.uk)
Rebecca Bloomwood has the dream job. She's a personal shopper, so is able to spend other people's money all day instead of her own. And she gets paid for doing it. The perfect job, the perfect man - gorgeous Luke Brandon - and now...the perfect wedding. Yes, Luke has proposed and wedding bells are in sight. No excuses are needed to start the shopping trip of all time. And Becky's parents are just assuming that the wedding will be at home - a marquee in the garden and Becky in her mum's wedding dress, which she's been saving specially for the occasion. But Luke's mother has very different ideas - a huge affair in New York in a forest glade setting - or perhaps a Venetian Ball, or a fin de siecle extravagance? Now Becky's getting confused. She doesn't want to say 'no' to anyone. The plans are going ahead, and soon it will be too late to turn back - from either wedding...

****

This is the craziest so far! You just stand there, keep on reading, and in the meanwhile you think "OK, now, she can't really do this". But this is Becky, again.. the one and only ;)

Here I am for a new dose of Becky Bloomwood "uniqueness"... :-) 

Journal Entry 3 by leggiona on Monday, February 26, 2007

Becky strikes again, with her candid admission that, all right the best is to stick to tradition, with the blossoming cherry tree in your parents' garden, but a grand wedding at the Plaza is something you just can't kick out if someone offers it to you for free... honesty with herself (at least!) is a new quality of that adds to her usual big imagination.

Journal Entry 5 by Babina from Como, Lombardia Italy on Thursday, June 07, 2007

Very funny like the other of the series.

Now I want to get married!!!! Ok, I admit, only to set up my wedding list: so much fun shopping without spending money!
Happy shopping!

Becky's here with me...I think I'm going to spend my summer with her ^_^ 

Journal Entry 7 by lupurk from Pecetto di Valenza, Piemonte Italy on Saturday, July 21, 2007

Funny just like the others, I found it a little more reflective, expecially in the relationship between Luke and Elinor. I also found Becky a little grown up ...even if she just can't stop messing all up!
What I really can't understand is how she can keep everything secret to everybody...but most of all to her boyfriend...I could never do it!

Ready to leave for new adventures!
Thanks for the ring, Liz!

At least I've to understant that sometimes a crazy woman can become a very smart person. It's easy spending money and having secrets, but having a wonderful set for a wedding and keeping it fake and secret is the smartest move I red in a Shopaholic book.
I really enjoyed this book. Even if I've to say that at the beginning it wasn't funny. But it was only calm before shocking everywhere worldwide. Now we (the readers) have an adult Becky and a fragile (sometime) Luke. In this book the most important thing was the great link you can have in your family. Who cares enchanted woods or string players in a wedding when you can have your family and your friend. Even if, I've to say it, the two of them together is the best solution.
The only bad point in this book is the fact that I'm beginning Beckyaholic.
Thanks to Lizzyblack for the ring.

Arrivato! :)

Finora è il romanzo della saga che più mi è piaciuto, forse perché mi sto abituando e affezionando a Becky, un personaggio che sta crescendo nonostante continui a combinare casini!! La soluzione finale è pazzesca, in linea con la protagonista, eppure ero convinta sarebbe finita così! Inoltre, da eterna pigra e procrastinatrice piena di buoni propositi, mi sono anche rispecchiata in Becky (ma non sono mai riuscita ad arrivare a quei livelli!).
Luke esce un po' dall'ombra (negli episodi precedenti mi era sembrato un personaggio troppo piatto) e, come Becky (e guidato da lei, incredibile ma vero!), impara e cresce.
Sempre divertenti i personaggi secondari: Suze e Tarquin, Danny...
e infine devo dire che se i preparativi delle nozze (entrambi) mi hanno lasciato piuttosto fredda a livello di coinvolgimento personale (non vorrei un Plaza wedding neanche morta!!), ho provato una feroce invidia per la luna di miele... :D

Ritorna a casa dopo le feste, grazie mille!!

Journal Entry 14 by Cyzaki from Southgate, Greater London United Kingdom on Monday, June 02, 2008

I really enjoyed this book, although I couldn't help thinking all the way through "Phone your mum, tell her the problem, move the Oxshott wedding by a few days, and do both..."

Definitely on the lookout for the Shopaholic books I haven't read yet now!
