vintage_b's review against another edition

After the shock of the last book, our shopaholic friends are on the hunt to follow Becky’s dad. He already had one bombshell secret drop; what else is he hiding? While the growing rift between Bex and Suze is quite realistic, the manhunt for Grahm is ridiculous. Due to this being close to the last book in the series, I felt like Sophie was grasping at straws to complete it. The series started so strongly but seems to have floundered after the first few books. This really could have been the last one, but somehow, she found it in herself to write one more.

Leuk vervolg op 'Shopaholic naar de sterren', waarin Becky doortastend optreedt om alles wat fout is gelopen, weer recht te zetten. Ze gaat gebukt onder schuldgevoelens en heeft totaal geen belangstelling om te shoppen, wat iedereen in haar nabijheid in hoge mate verontrust. Maar... uiteindelijk komt natuurlijk alles weer op z'n pootjes terecht.

So glad to like this one! The cliffhanger in the last one turned me off, so I waited a while to try this one. But it was much better. Return to the old Becky! (Plus, since she's off shopping for most of the book, I actually found it much less stressful!)

This was an amazing read. This is my fifteenth Sophie Kinsella story, and eighth book of the Shopaholic series. I loved every minute of it. The humor in her stories makes the book more enjoyable. I lived Becky. She is a silly, yet lovable main female character. Luke is an amazing male character. He may be an entrepreneur, but I love how he is able to love Becky even though she has her flaws and quirks.
I really loved this book. I really love being in Becky's world. It was a fun, exciting, and loving story. I really loved the road trip aspect as we got to see the characters in a different light. In this book, she experiences the feeling of not wanting to shop. This is the guilt she feels towards her family and friends. I think she grew during this series. This shows the vulnerable side to Becky. Also, she learned her boundaries, and how to be a better person. It was a pleasure to see. Can't wait for Finding Audrey. Overall, a fantastic read.

This was okay. It was a quick, fluffy read, but nothing super exciting or memorable happened. And I didn't even realize I had missed a book in the series until I read this one, and things kept being eluded to that I hadn't read. I guess I'll have to go read book #7, but I probably won't be in any huge hurry to get back to it.

I found this a fast and funny read. I think there were too many plots going on at one time. Suze and Becky are not talking and Alicia is cozying up to Suze. It made me really mad because I would be upset if my friend started hanging out with someone who tried to destroy my career in the past. Also, I cannot believe that Becky's dad kept a huge secret from everyone for like 30 years and then they all forgave him so quickly. Otherwise, I thought the setting was fun and I liked meeting so many different people.
