Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

8/10

I really enjoyed Confessions of a Shopaholic. My favorite part was the main character, Rebecca, and her neurosis. Who has never thought, "hey if I won the lottery, I could quit my horrible job", as they past a
drug store. Then you buy it and hate yourself later. The author takes that "need" craziness we all have on some level and wrapped it into a character in a novel. It was also nice that though Rebecca saw the
error or her ways at the end of the novel, she did not completely change. Things are a work in progress. My only complaint is that the book seemed to drag in the beginning a bit. In general, it was a great
story featuring a relatable but extreme character.
