We've been waiting for a long
time now - oh, such a very long time! - but it's finally here! Yes, Sophie
Kinsella's Mini Shopaholic, the latest in the bestselling Shopaholic series,
has finally hit the shelves. After months of waiting, we can finally get our
hands on Becky's latest adventure.
Okay, so we've read it already, so watch this space for a review! We'll also be counting down to the States release with some Shopaholic features and fun.
In the latest tale from Ms Kinsella, renowned shopaholic Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is back - and this time, with her two-year-old daughter Minnie in tow.
If you haven't seen it already (if not, where have you been?) then here's the synopsis:
Becky Brandon thought motherhood would be a breeze and
that having a daughter was a dream come true: a shopping friend for life! But
it's trickier than she thought. Two-year-old Minnie has a quite different approach
to shopping.
Minnie creates havoc everywhere she goes, from Harrods to her own christening.
Her favorite word is "Mine!" and she's even trying to get into eBay! On top of
everything else, Becky and Luke are still living with her parents (the deal on
house #4 has fallen through), when suddenly there's a huge financial crisis.
With people having to "cut back," Becky decides to throw a surprise party for
Luke to cheer everyone up. But when costs start to spiral out of control, she
must decide whether to accept help from an unexpected source--and therefore run
the risk of hurting the person she loves.
Will Becky be able to pull off the celebration of the year? Will she and Luke
ever find a home of their own? Will Minnie ever learn to behave? And . . . most
important . . . will Becky's secret wishes ever come true?
