Shopaholic & Sister

Shopaholic & Sister by Sophie Kinsella (audio)

This main character is crazy. I’ve never seen anyone shop without abandon. She meets her long lost sister who turns out *gasp* not to like shopping. The sister is actually a pretty granola groovy gal actually, who does in fact have her own hang-ups. The two are at odds throughout the book but somehow learn a bit from each other through the course of shopping, activist meetings, and one harrowing afternoon in a mountainside storm. I haven’t read any of Sophie’s other Shopaholic books although a guest reviewer discussed the first one, Confessions of a Shopaholic. I really enjoyed The Undomestic Goddess so I thought I’d give this one a whirl. I’m kinda glad I did. I just love listening to those British accents. Lighthearted and lofty, not to be taken seriously, but total hilarity and escapism. If you go into reading this book knowing these things and with the right attitude you will thoroughly enjoy it. -Flourish
