Millions of readers have come to adore New York Times
best-selling author Sophie Kinsella's irrepressible heroine. Meet
Becky Bloomwood, America's favorite shopaholic - a young woman with
a big heart, big dreams...and just one little weakness. Becky has a
fabulous flat in London's trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of
glamorous socialite friends, and a closet 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 only bores her to tears, it doesn't pay much at all. And lately
Becky's been chased by dismal letters from the bank -letters with
large red sums she can't bear to read-and they're getting ever
harder to ignore. She tries cutting back. 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 grows stronger every time she weakens. Becky's
hilarious schemes to pay back her debts are as endearing as they
are desperate. Her "confessions" are the perfect pick-me-up when
life is hanging in the (bank) balance.
