Confessions of a Shopaholic > Selling @ RM 20

Rebecca Bloomwood just hit rock bottom. But she’s never looked better…

Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London’s trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a cloest brimming with the season’s must-haves. The only trouble is that she can’t actually afford it – not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Savings not ony bores her to tears, it doesn’t pay muct at all. And lately Becky’s been chased by dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bank – letters with large red sums she can’t bear to read – and they’re getting ever harder to ignore. She tries cutting back; she even tries making more money. But none of her efforts succeeds. Becky’s only consolation is to buy herself something… just a little something….

Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life – and the lives of those around her – forever.

Sophie Kinsella has brilliantly tapped into our collective consumer conscience to deliver a novel of our times – and a heroine who grow stronger every time she weakens. Becky Bloomwood’s hilarious schemes to pay back her debts are as endearing as they are desperate. Her “confessions” are perfect pick-me-up when life is hanging in the (bank) balance.

Sophie Kinsella is a writer and former financial journalist. She is very, very careful with her money and only occasionally finds herself queuing for a sale. Her relationship with her bank manager is excellent.
