Book Review: Shopaholic and Baby by Sophie Kinsella
Becky’s life is blooming! She’s working at London’s newest fashion store The Look, house-hunting with husband Luke (her secret wish is a Shoe Room)…and she’s pregnant! She couldn’t be more overjoyed - especially since discovering that shopping cures morning sickness. Everything has got to be perfect for her baby: from the designer nursery…to the latest, coolest pram…to the celebrity, must-have obstetrician. But when the celebrity obstetrician turns out to be her husband Luke’s glamorous, intellectual ex-girlfriend, Becky’s perfect world starts to crumble. She’s shopping for two…but are there three in her marriage!
Leah: I’m fairly sure that all of my reviews of the Shopaholic series are starting to sound a bit same-y. Generally because I keep going on and on and on about how much I love the series, and Becky, and Sophie Kinsella… I think you get the point. Now, after having read the first five books, there’s no doubt in my mind that this is my favourite series period. I could probably write a degree of the Shopaholic series. It wouldn’t do me much good, but that is how much I love it. I always remember little tidbits from the books and Shopaholic and Baby is responsible for one of the most hilarious quotes ever. I’m not going to tell you it, but once you read it you’ll understand and probably love it (unless you’re a red-head). I found the entire book funnier than the previous one, although they do all make me laugh out loud most of the time! It leads us perfectly into the next Shopaholic book.
Chloe: I adored this book. When I found out Sophie Kinsella was going to make Becky Bloomwood a mother, I knew it would be a hoot right from the off because the idea of Becky as a mum was hilarious! I loved Becky and Luke house-hunting because it was really funny, and what girl wouldn’t love a shoe room… for once I agreed with Becky! The hilarious storyline with Becky, her celebrity obstetrician who happens to be Luke’s ex-girlfriend is simply comedy genius, and I was laughing out loud throughout the whole book, right up until the end. This has to be one of my favourite books in the Shopaholic series, and is simply brilliant. I loved it!
