Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
Warning: if you can't stand chic-lit, this book is not a good idea. I can't usually stomach mindless chic-lit, but seeing this is a bestseller it must have some redeeming qualities so I gave it a try.
The story revolves around a ditzy girl with a serious shopping addiction and really horrible cash management issues. It follows her life as she spends and splurges and gets deeper in a financial mess. And she's a journalist for a financial digest! Guffaw.
The story isn't too bad, it's light reading and does (at least) have a story to tell. But it's easy to get irritated with the title character. She's shallow and weak-willed and really silly. You really feel like smacking her at times.
It's a good fun read. I'm on to the second book in the series (Shopaholic takes Manhattan) but this one is a pain to finish. She's more annoying this time around. I might not finish the book, her silly nitwit character is starting to grate.
Read only if you want.
