Rebecca is a chic young Londoner who can't stop shopping. When she gets in deeply over her head, three men appear in her life: Derek, from a collection agency; Tarquin, her roommate's wealthy cousin, whom Rebecca hopes will propose marriage and bail her out; and Luke, a sleazy financial guru.
I really enjoyed this book. It was so funny. And, yes the heroine is quite silly and does stupid things, but that is what made it so enjoyable. Plus, I loved reading this with an English accent in my head. It was quite fun. I would love to go to England one day. I felt like I was there. It was fantastic. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
If you like chick lit, you'll love this book. It is a little annoying how she's a stereotypical shopping woman, but there are times, I'd have to admit, when I could relate. It's a quick, cute read. If you like this, you'd like Elizabeth Young.
The Shopaholic drives me crazy. She is such a stereotypical woman, unable to control herself and going into 'shopping fits'. I don't recommend it.
