Product Description
With over eight million copies of her beloved books in print, Sophie Kinsella is a true phenomenon. Now Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is back, in a hilarious new Shopaholic novel!
Becky’s life is blooming! She’s working at London’s newest big store, The Look, house-hunting with husband Luke (her secret wish is a Shoe Room)...and she’s pregnant! She couldn’t be more overjoyed—especially since discovering that shopping cures morning sickness. Everything has got to be perfect for her baby: from the designer nursery…to the latest, coolest pram…to the celebrity, must-have obstetrician. But when the celebrity obstetrician turns out to be Luke’s glamorous, intellectual ex-girlfriend, Becky’s perfect world starts to crumble. She’s shopping for two…but are there three in her marriage?

 non stop antics all the way through! December 15, 2008
brilliant, just brilliant, i laughed all the way through. Becky gets funnier every book, she is written so well, she is a real person, i feel if i met her i would want Becky to be my best friend. The way her mind wanders to the most crazy conclusions about Luke and his college sweetheart, and her logic for buying things she will never need or use never gets old, and i sometimes read about a situation and say 'i would probably do the same thing.' From beginning to end just a laugh out riot, my favorite part is when she walks into the doctors appointment wearing heals and the jewelry and the big bag, something i would do, and then get yelled at by the doctor for it. The ending was very sweet, and as usual an extremely unexpected one.
 Absolutely dreadful October 19, 2008

While attempting to read this book, I could not stop my gag reflex from releasing vomit into my throat. I have never in my life tried to read such a dreadful, plotless piece of tripe before. I slightly enjoyed Can You Keep a Secret? and was looking for another light read. This was so light it floated away on a sea of disgust. The book is 99% dialogue, i.e. there is no plot. The main character is heinously insipid. I refused to donate this book to be sold as used to prevent someone else from having to waste their time with this horrid book.
Must Read!!! August 22, 2008
This book has to be the best out of her series, its witty and fun. It is a great summer read if your looking for something light and funny. The entire series was great and i'm really hoping that she doesn't stop at this one i would definetely read more of Becky's adventures. I admit i've been where she has and overindulged and looked at my Visa bill and nearly passed out the first time. I can competely relate to all her adventures especailly this one i was actually 3 months pregnant when i started reading this i admit it was kinda redundant in some parts but it was funny anyways. The villian Venetia Carter was just Hillarious!!! I think that this was the greatest thing about this book was it actually had a "villian". It was amazing and please please Sophie Kinsella WRITE MORE ABOUT Becky Bloomwood (Brandon)!! I will be sure to purchase and read it if you do.
The best yet! August 13, 2008
I loved all of the Shopaholic novels, but this has been my favorite. I found the new villain, Venetia Carter, of the book to be well-rounded and a good addition. But most of all, and for the first time ever, I actually felt Becky's pain when she discovered, or falsely discovered, that her husband was cheating on her and was as pissed off as her when Venetia did other things (eg.: made her wear weird "baby-supporting" clothes). I'd love to see another Shopaholic book, but, if not, this was a great final installment. I highly recommend it!
The last shopaholic book I'll ever buy! July 26, 2008

I've been a big Kinsella fan ever since I read her Undomestic Goddess book, followed by the Shopaholic series (yes, I read every single one of them!) I HAD looked forward to this one...and what a disappointment it was! Kinsella had a lot of material to work with...there's dearth of material to write about having a baby! But instead, Kinsella made Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) so STUPID! This is the first Kinsella book I bought that I cannot finish. This book was absolutely AWFUL! (Did anyone read her draft before publishing it?) I may never read any of Kinsella's books again.
