The books follow Becky through her life beginning as a finance journalist in London. They are just plain fun to read. They are somewhat predictable, but still enjoyable. Sometimes I want to wring Becky’s neck and other times I am cracking up at her antics. The pace of each book begins slow and then builds to a big ending. Once you get into the book it is hard to put down.

My favorite of the 5 is “Shopahlic Takes Manhatten.” That one had me on edge the whole time.

The movie of the same name combines a few stories from different books. The books are so much better! Besides, Luke, Becky’s love interest is way cuter in my head than the one who plays him in the movie. I think the Luke Brandon in the movie is sort of a wimp. The Luke Brandon in my head reminds me of the boss in the British series “The IT Crowd.” Probably because he is British and plays a boss in an office.  So he kind of looks like a younger and wayyy cuter version of this character (don’t judge me ).

If you are looking for something light and fun to read you should definitely read the first book of this series. Then you will be hooked too! I liked to read one in between serious books. It gave me a nice break and breathe of fresh air when I needed one.

So that is my confession. I really enjoyed reading the Shopaholic series. Have you read any of them? Do you have a favorite?
