Shopaholic & Sister Review
Becky and Luke have tied the knot and are on a ten month world-wide honeymoon (and shopping adventures if you know our girl, Becky). Of course, Becky keeps the trip's treasures cost a secret from Luke, including an exclusive Angelbag a gift from a stranger. What harm is free? Returning home Becky finds the world has gone on without a hitch. In fact, it seems no one really missed them, only replaced them. Becky's Mum and Dad are acting strangely suspicious with good cause. It seems Becky has a previously unknown half sister thanks to Dad's dalliance some years ago. Becky being Becky embarks on fantasies of doing each other's nails and hair, giggle filled sleepovers and most important a mutual obsession with looking smart and shopping. Uh, not so fast. Those were just daydreams. Will Becky and her sister eventually develop similar tastes? Could they become sisters in the real sense of the word?
This read ends on a high note with a wonderful message about all the different expectations we have about our relationships.
Enjoy the read!

Shopaholic & Sister Overview
What’s a round-the-world honeymoon if you can’t buy the odd souvenir to ship back home? Like the twenty silk dressing gowns Becky found in Hong Kong…the 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 loft, and the bills for them are outrageous. Luke insists Becky 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, have manicures 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?

Becky Bloomwood is Maxed Out - PrettyPearls - Tokyo, Japan
I enjoyed the first couple of the Shopaholic series, but the rest just deteriorated in quality and fun. Shopaholic & Sister seems like a rush job, like the author was on a deadline, and slapped a few ideas together. It wasn't original and I gave up in the middle of the book. That said, I am still a big fan of Sophie Kinsella and look forward to reading her future non-shopaholic books.
Price outrage - B. Smith - Hong Kong
Paperback .99
Kindle .86
Outrageous - a paperback is much cheaper than the e-book.
That's what is called ripping off customers!
Shame on you, Amazon and publisher!
Not quite up to Shopaholic standards - Pamela S. Lee - North Carolina
This was a good read (I love everything by Sophie Kinsella), but it definitely felt much slower than the other installments of the Shopaholic series.
