Shopaholic Abroad by Sophie Kinsella is a sequel to Confessions of a Shopaholic. But then it does not really matter that it is a sequel. You can read this anyway, just like you can watch any episode of FRIENDS at random.
Rebecca Bloomwood (Becky), is in the limelight with her high flying career in television and got out of debts. She is slowing falling back into debts yet again and is not able to get along with her new Bank Manager. She accompanies her boyfriend Luke to New York and discovers she was born on the wrong side of the Atlantic. She was made for New York – especially for the shops there. Currency being different from pound only helps her shop – it feels like getting all the stuff for money which more like that in monopoly. With her shopping, this time she gets both herself and Luke into trouble. The rest of the book is about how she gets out the mess.
What I like about this book and the first one is, When I was reading them and burst out laughing suddenly, A asks, “What happened?” and I go “You know what Becky did?…”. Almost always, after a while, I hear – “What is Becky doing now?”. You see, I am not the only one addicted.
Many humorous pieces of soliloquy are spread across this book too. A good book – though, I found Confessions of a Shopaholic better.
