About this ebook
“Kinsella’s heroine is blessed with the resilience of ten women, and her damage-limitation brain waves are always good for a giggle.”—Glamour (U.K.)
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 Brandon (née Bloomwood) finds in Hong Kong, or the hand-carved dining table from Sri Lanka, or the, um, huge wooden giraffes from Malawi (that her husband expressly forbade her to buy).
Only now Becky and Luke have returned home to London, where two truckloads of those souvenirs have cluttered up their loft. The bills are outrageous, Luke is furious, and Becky’s feeling rather blue—until her parents deliver some incredible news. She has a long-lost sister! Becky is convinced her sister will be a true soulmate. They’ll go shopping together, drink cappuccinos together, get manicures together. Then Becky meets Jessica and receives the shock of her life. Surely the shopaholic’s own sister can’t hate shopping?
Praise for Sophie Kinsella
“Kinsella has a genuine gift for comic writing.”—The Boston Globe
“Kinsella’s Bloomwood is plucky and funny. . . . You won’t have to shop around to find a more winning protagonist.”—People
“Faster than a swiping Visa, more powerful than a two-for-one coupon, able to buy complete wardrobes in a single sprint through the mall—it’s Shopaholic!”—The Washington Post

"Shopaholic and Sister" a book by Sophie Kinsella is about Rebecca Bloomwood. She just came back from her perfect around the world honeymoon. Becky, Rebecca Bloomwood, still the shopaholic that she was before she got married, bought the whole world back to their little apartment. Now she's trying to hide all the things she bought from her husband Luke. Like things were not bad enough, her best friend finds a new best friend and she finds out that she has a sister!
This shophaholic sequel contains everything Kinsella had in the books before and more! All the little blurbs of humor and craziness adds even more fun into reading this book. Kinsella herself is a wild girl, filled with crazy experiences. Her crazy wedding probably contributed to the exotic events that happened to Beckys life in the book. Though her writing was a little weird, I have to say this was one of my favorite fiction books.
I think most women and girls would find this book appealing since it is a book about shopping with problems with her husband and sister. "Shopahoic and Sister" is a book with romance, humor, and some exotic events. The way she finds a long lost sister and how she tries to bond with her without shopping is something worth reading about.
