I really enjoyed the Shopaholic series when I began reading it, but by the third book, I was burnt out. In the beginning, I found Becky to be cute and charming, but by the third book, her continued irresponsibility and materialism just made her annoying to my eyes. I guess it was no longer my cup of tea.

It's far better than the fist two books. It has some solid story which confidently keeps its pace.

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first two. It just kind of drug on. Also I got frustrated with how she never would tell her mom about the wedding.

These books are all the same, but entertaining. This one was probably the best that I've read so far, because it was less quasi-coincidental misfortune at every turn for Becky Bloomwood and more oh hey, these almost seem like real people.

This took me much longer to read than it should have. I was finding it very hard to be sympathetic to Becky. She was being very selfish and rather childish in this third installment of the series. It was no longer oh cute Becky what have you done, and more like Becky you selfish cow open your mouth and stand up for yourself, and your family. It was also a bit infuriating that Luke was so absent from planning, and his moral judgment calls in this one were very not like his character. I will continue on with the series, but this one so far did not age well.

Book 3 of Becky Bloomwood. She is now living in New York with Luke.
I think his proposal is my favorite proposal I've read and her mother's response makes me laugh EVERYTIME I read it! And now the dilemma is get married at home in England where mother is planning a backyard wedding or get married in NY where future mother in law is planning fairy tale wedding at the Plaza. While Becky goes back and forth b/w which venue to choose both parties are being planned and going forward at fully swing and Luke is having a break down.
I love this book too.. I love Suze's wedding and when Suze has the baby. Those are probably my favorite parts and then of course the weddings!

Becky made me SO frustrated with all her lies. I just wanted her to grow up and tell the truth. But still all characters and this story was so light and comfortable, perfect to read after heavy and dark book.
I enjoyed reading this book so much even though there was quite much to take in. This wasn't really believable but still I noticed how I didn't care. This book was cute, entertaining and I loved it with all it's absurdness.

Two challenges: read about a character who is very different from you (she's English), and read a hyped book (hyped by my family).
