Confessions of a Shopaholic


The book was good, as I expected it to be. City girl, Becky Bloomwood, is in it for a party. All her life, she'd grown up to believe that spending had a value and that money didn't grow on trees. But when she got older, she started spending like crazy and couldn't stop. Shopping became her sweet escape and she soon started to get in trouble with that one thing she absolutely adored-money. The name of one man made her get sick inside....Derek Smeath. He was out to get her, or so she thought. Smeath was out to make sure she paid her bills. Becky constantly made up excuses for everything to keep from paying. But she soon let it get to her. Ironicly enough, Becky started to work for a money-saving finances magazine, even though she can't afford to pay her own bills. Soon enough, she falls in love. But will she keep her job for the man that she loves or try to accomplish getting into her favorite magazine?

I liked thebook. To me, it was one that I couldn't put down as soon as I picked it up. The book seemed a little all over the place but it was a good book I'd highly recommend. I saw the movie last night. It was good for the most part, and I did happen to like it more. But the movie was filmed and set in New York, which I didn't understand. In the book, the story was set in London. Either way, the movie was really good and I would highly recommend seeing it.
