Our favourite shopaholic, Becky Bloomwood is pregnant and she’s more excited than ever! After all, having a baby would be a fun thing, right? This means that instead of shopping for just one person, Becky can now shop for two! It’s definitely utter bliss for her shopaholic soul.
Life seems perfect. A baby coming soon, her husband Luke is doing well with his public relations company, a beautiful new home awaiting them…what else could Becky want?
Well, she’s not really contented with her current obstetrician, which is boring Mr Braine who has delivered Luke before. She hopes to secure celebrity obstetrician, Venetia Carter who treats mostly famous people. Becky, with her fantasies of rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, eventually succeeds in getting Venetia to be her new doctor.
The thing is, long-legged, red-head and glamorous Venetia used to be Luke’s girlfriend when they were teenagers. Should Becky be worried? No, she shouldn’t be, of course. Luke loves her. He would never leave her. Hurting her would be the last thing in the world that he’d ever do. But she has that nagging feeling of distrust whenever she sees Venetia, or Luke.
Can’t say I loved the book though I liked it. However, the more I read about Becky’s extravagant spending and frivolous ideas, I began liking her less. Actually, I don’t really like her character but I just find her funny at times. Her mannerisms and ridiculous ideas can leave you speechless.
It is a fun book to read, there’s no doubt about it. I enjoy the other characters especially Luke and Becky’s best friend, Suze. I know that Suze comes from a wealthy family and she must have had the best education, so sometimes I find it hard to believe that she can be quite ditzy.

Must admit, I have not read any of the books but really looking forward to read them!
I love all the Shopaholic books…I think I live vicariously through them
Can’t wait for the next one
My wife will love reading this book. Maybe she can relate as she just gave birth 7 months ago to our first-born daughter…
@Darlyn: These books are kinda funny though the main character can be silly at times!
@Nishita: Mini Shopaholic is already out – have you read it yet??
@dodong flores: I think she’ll find this book enjoyable, just like the other books in the Shopaholic series. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter!
